Leigh Matthews: Victoria – 69

While Leigh Matthews comes from a family where almost everyone played professional football, he brought new glory to his family’s name as he was the only one from his bloodline to be inducted into the ‘Australian Football Hall of Fame’. Not only that, the ex ‘Hawthorn’ star was recognized by his country’s football league as the best player of the 20th century.

As a coach for ‘Collingwood’ and ‘Brisbane Lions,’ Leigh was known for his strict style that many of his players admitted they hated him for. Nonetheless, it was with this approach that Leigh’s teams achieved milestones they had previously failed to achieve. The ex-footballer is now a regular sports commentator on TV and radio.
