Onya Louie!  Absolute legend!  I hope Jack gives you a clip under the ear ... just for old times sake ...   :clapping

Thanks for all those fabulous memories growing up!

A football immortal, even if he did play for Collingwood.

I hope Jack is still telling him he hates Collingwood so much, he refuses to watch black and white movies!

RIP Louie the lip.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I can't bring myself to RIP to any ex Collingwood person but perhaps that is part of his legacy. A much nicer bloke to hate than Eddie.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I'm another here who grew up watching Lou on World of Sport, his banter with Jack, his "kiss of death" tips and the stunts he did when he tipped wrong, and with him and Peter Landy commentating games on Ch 7 (still the best ever commentators IMHO).

RIP Lou and thanks.
