Edward James "Ted" Whitten (also known as EJ Whitten) (27 July 1933 – 17 August 1995) was an Australian rules footballer and media personality who represented Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Whitten is a Legend of the Australian Football Hall of Fame, and became known as "Mr Football".
Whitten grew up in the western suburbs of Braybrook and Footscray in Melbourne. As a youth he played for Braybrook on Saturdays and Collingwood Amateurs on Sundays; he was urged by the Collingwood Amateurs coach, Charlie Utting (a former Collingwood VFL star) to try out for the Collingwood team but was told later to come back in a few years after building up body strength. Within 12 months he was playing for Footscray, the team he had always supported.
Whitten made his VFL debut in round 1, 1951, against Richmond at the Punt Road Oval and joined a special group of players by kicking a goal with his first kick. During the match, "Mopsy" Fraser, a notoriously volatile defender for Richmond, knocked Whitten out late in the third quarter. Whitten later said that Fraser did him a favour that day, hardening his attitude and making him realise that League football was a no-nonsense game that only the toughest could succeed at. He was a key member of Footscray's 1954 VFL Premiership victory, the club's only premiership to date.

The video includes the moving lap of honour for Whitten that took place prior to the game.

Otto est une tata teutonne
Pleine de tics et de totos
Qui s'autotète les tétés
En se titillant les tétons
Et sa mitrailleuse fait
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
Assez porté sur la tortore
Il s'tape des tonnes de steak tartare
Puis Otto rote et jette hautain
Son étron au trou des tinettes
Son gros pétard pète et fait
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
Pour ce teuton tout est torture
Tata ayant tâté de tout
Otto fait les tasses à tâtons
Oui mais question tutu tintin
Une voix derrière lui fait
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
Ratatatata tata
Ratatatata
