It is impossible to overstate the impact on Australian Sport this week’s guest had during his career. Anthony Koutoufides revolutionised the greatest game on earth, Australian Rules Football.

The story of Kouta is so much more than that. It is a family story, with his father fleeing Egypt and his mother leaving Northern-Italy. A migrant success story of family sacrificing it all for the next generation. In this episode we touch on a number of these achievements including some memorable moments and also Kouta reveals some of the tougher moments. One moment that stands out to me, is that whilst Kouta was both a gifted athlete and an exceptional footballer, he had to earn his opportunity. It was not simple a given that he would go on the become one of the greatest to play the game, he had to work tirelessly toiling for years before being given his opportunity.

This story is one of perseverance, relentless work ethic and the evolution from a shy kid from the burbs to a self-assured superhuman of god-like proportions.
