Kouta: Boy In Blue
Beginning his AFL career in 1992, Kouta quickly established himself
as one of the most versatile and athletic players ever to play the
game. Of Greek and Northern Italian heritage, Koutoufides made an
early choice to switch from track and field athletics to Australian
rules football.
A pin-up boy not only at Carlton, in November 2006 won the final of
Channel 7's hit show Dancing with the Stars. Kouta has never been
far from the news (his reported $1 million contract caused a huge
stir) but there have been very few players who could match
Koutoufides' sheer dominance in the late '90s, and at his best he
is simply indestructible.
Koutoufides was the Brownlow Medal favourite in 2000, the year in
which he won the Leigh Matthews Trophy for the league's Most
Valuable Player, as chosen by the players. He won the Carlton Best
& Fairest in 2001 & 2005, received All Australian honours
in 1995 & 2000, and was one of the best on field in Carlton's
1995 Grand Final win. He also played in Carlton pre-season
premiership teams in 1997, 2005 and 2007.
Koutoufides has felt the exhilaration of the highs but also
suffered the lows. He was the was Carlton Captain during the
tumultuous period between 2003-2006, when the club was in financial
crisis, and twice finished bottom of the ladder.
In Kouta, Anthony speaks candidly about his amazing football
career, his life outside of football and how the game has changed
during his time at the top.
