Lewis Thomas Charles "Lou" Richards, MBE (born 15 March 1923) is a retired Australian rules footballer, who played 250 games with the Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1941 and 1955. Richards married Edna Lillian Bowie in 1948; the couple had two daughters.
Born in Collingwood, Victoria, Richards' passion for Collingwood grew out of family connections – he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Charlie H. Pannam (shortened from Pannamopoulos after migrating to Australia from Greece), and uncles Charles and Alby Pannam, both former Magpie players. His brother Ron Richards also played for the club. The Richards/Pannam dynasty made Collingwood the only club to have been captained by three generations of the one family. As a family they played over 1200 games between them.
Richards played as a rover, resting in the forward pocket.
He was captain of the club for four years, including Collingwood's 1953 premiership team.

League Teams is a weekly Australian sports television series based on the Australian Football League (AFL) that airs on Fox Footy. It is currently shown on Thursdays at 6:30pm, to coincide with that round's team announcements. Hosted by Dermott Brereton, it also features members of the Fox Footy's commentary team every week during the AFL season.
The show was launched on the original iteration of Fox Footy Channel in 2002, and was hosted by Jason Dunstall. The show's panellists were Luke Darcy, former Geelong and Essendon player John Barnes, and former Sydney player Wayne Schwass. The show finished at the end of the 2006 season when Fox Footy Channel ceased operations, and it moved to parent channel Fox Sports. It continued there until 2012, when Fox Footy was launched and the show returned to an AFL-dedicated channel.
From 2007 to 2010, it was hosted by former footballer Brian Taylor. He was replaced by Dermott Brereton following the 2011 season, after Taylor's departure to the Seven Network.
A football team is the collective name given to a group of players selected together in the various team sports known as football.
Such teams could be selected to play in a match against an opposing team, to represent a football club, group, state or nation, an All-star team or even selected as a hypothetical team (such as a Dream Team or Team of the Century) and never play an actual match.
There are several varieties of football, notably Association football, Gridiron football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, rugby league, and rugby union. The number of players selected for each team within these varieties and their associated codes can vary substantially. In some, use of the word "team" is sometimes limited to those who play on the field in a match and does not always include other players who may take part as replacements or emergency players. "Football squad" may be used to be inclusive of these support and reserve players.
The term football club is the most commonly used for a sports club which is an organised or incorporated body with a president, committee and a set of rules responsible for ensuring the continued playing existence of one or more teams which are selected for regular competition play (and which may participate in several different divisions or leagues). The oldest football clubs date back to the early 19th century. The words team and club are sometimes used interchangeably by supporters, although they typically refer to the team within the club playing in the highest division or competition.

A clip from the AFL version of 'The Sunday Footy Show', which airs on the Channel Nine Network on Sunday mornings/afternoons, in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia.

This pre-recorded segment aired unedited at the time, the producers having missed the subtle profanity at the time. For the story behind this cl...
