What this episode covers

It was great fun catching up on Legends with Bevo recently with one of the real characters of footy, Richard Champion aka Champs. We spoke about his junior footy career, including an incredible A-Grade footy debut at Kadina as a 15 year old, what it was like to play under some of the greatest footy names of all time including Blight, Ebert and Matthews and some interesting methods some of his coaches had. We also discussed what it was like to play against some of the best full forwards of all time such as: Modra, Ablett, Dunstall, Carey and Lockett and how Champs nearly ended up at the Adelaide Crows. Champs and I looked back on an incident in a SANFL game back in 1990 which led to one of the biggest melees in history. You can book Champs as an MC by going to his website below, if you're lucky he might even sing a song or two for you. https://www.richardchampion.com.au/ Video footage thanks to You Tube. Thanks so much to Champs for his time, Leith Forrest from 5AA for helping tee up the chat and Rory Noke from PodBooth for a great job of filming and editing the video.
