Squat, short legged and barrel-chested, Matthews earned the iconic nickname "Lethal Leigh" due to his physical as well as skilful style of play. He is officially recognised as the "best player of the 20th century", according to the AFL, is a Legend in the AFL Hall of Fame, is on the Hawthorn and AFL Teams of the Centuries and is one of the most successful AFL coaches of all time. In 2008, Matthews was named second, behind Wayne Carey, as part of Mike Sheahan's list of the top 50 players of all time, published in the book 'The Australian Game of Football', which was released by the AFL to celebrate 150 years of Australian rules football. He is now an AFL commentator on television with the Seven Network and on Radio with 3AW Football.
Playing career
Early career
Matthews played his junior football at the Chelsea Football Club, and joined Hawthorn at the age of sixteen, having already played senior suburban football. Part of a footballing family, Matthews' brother Kelvin had played 155 games at Hawthorn and Geelong. Matthews made his senior debut for the Hawks in round 16 of the 1969 against Melbourne, as a forward pocket, crumbing around the feet of Hawthorn’s champion full forward, Peter Hudson. Matthews kicked a goal with his first kick and went on to kick at least one goal in each of his five games that year, winning the club's Best First Year Player award. By mid-way through 1970, Matthews had earned a regular place in the team, as a rover rotating forward, and was immediately impressive, kicking 20 goals from 16 games for the season.
Leigh Matthews (8 July 1983 – 9 July 2004) was a South African university student who was kidnapped and murdered. Her disappearance and murder sparked a media frenzy, with the ensuing investigation and court case being one of the most closely followed in South African history.
Kidnapping and murder
Matthews was born on 8 July 1983 to Rob and Sharon Matthews. She had one sibling, her sister Karen. At the time of her murder, the family lived in the Johannesburg suburb of Fourways and Matthews was studying for a BComFinance degree at Bond University in the Johannesburg suburb of Morningside. Her 21st birthday party was planned for the day after she disappeared.
On Friday 9 July 2004, she was abducted from the parking lot at Bond University. Shortly after the kidnapping, a ransom demand was made to her father, who dropped off R50,000 near the Grasmere Toll Plaza south of Johannesburg. He was able to hold a short telephone conversation with her afterwards which was their last communication.
"Every player who is fit and well is playing particularly when we don't have to travel for the first week."
"My initial thought was that it is not that bad, but bad (enough) that he misses a couple of weeks."
"The guys who have been able to do the preparation have come up really well."
"We are glad we got him and you think 'yeah that is a good draft choice'."
"That's what you're looking for the most in the early games. The main thing is there were good performances from guys we haven't seen much of."
"It's just good to have Jared Brennan playing again."
"We don't know exactly what that will mean (in terms of how many matches he will miss) - all I've heard from the doctors is he may have broken his thumb."
"I know it's cold hearted, but once you've got (medical) proof of what's happened, you move on and Richard will move on."
"The poor bugger. It's been 12 months (since he initially damaged his knee)."
"Richard will have scans in the morning but it's got all the symptoms of another reconstruction."
