Couchy had a beautiful raking left foot that often found Gazza and Big Billy lace out. Absolute star and lovely guy. Sadly missed. RIP Couchy. You are much loved and very missed #7
He had excellent skills...and tough . Buddha put himself about a bit and we needed that too, but Couchy was scrupulously fair - never retaliated, despite some terrible treatment on occasion.
Started watching AFL too late to see him play. Sounds like a great player and a great bloke with a little bit of country larrikin on top. I'm sure he is sadly missed
Soccer is the greatest sport on Planet Earth with over 4 Billion fans and massive in more than 240 countries (including dependencies). AFL has 7 million fans and massive in only 4 Australian states. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 fds
@@garfguy We beat the other finalists in the run in including Essendon comfortably....just such a shame, especially for guys like Gazza, Couchy, Bews and Buddha...those four were Champions.
@@hanajinks1044 yeah It was a real sporting tragedy that we couldn't even win one flag during the late 80s/90s. We also lost 3 night series grand finals too between '88 and '97, so not one piece of silverware to show from that era with all those legendary players. It actually still depresses me thinking about it all. Thankfully, at least the boys have made up for things this century quite magnificently.
@@garfguy ..beating Collingwood in '11 was real "cherry on top" of those 3 Flags - Menzel was so exciting in that period before he was injured - the only guy I've seen that anywhere near as good as Gazza.
I'm a Carlton supporter but I totally agree, 1993 was an opportunity lost for the Cats, 5 wins over finals bound sides including the reigning premiers on their home ground. The Geelong sides from that period from 89 to 95 were my favourite to watch of any era.... and Gazza snr is the best player I've ever seen. I really wish that they had won a flag. I also think that 1990 was a missed opportunity, the Cats had more talent on their list than Collingwood that year but unfortunately couldn't get it together consistently at any stage that year and make a run at the finals.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.
What a fantastic footballer and even better bloke. Left far to young. RIP.
RIP Paul Couch.
One of the best, if not the best Open Mike I've ever seen. RIP Couchy

@@mufc510 Soccer: beloved by lady boys the world over..
Couchy had a great footy brain, a very polished skill-set and a mental and physical toughness about him.

Man's got a point.
Good comment
Love it.
93 was the one that got away...
Agreed. That was an open year where we were probably the best team of the bunch toward the end of the season

What a ripper bloke

wow, Couchy was so fit, running 10 miles everyday, and he dies of a heart attack at 50?
Probably because he ran 10 miles a day!...fitness is overrated.
@@sirwinstonlennon6486 Fitness isn't overrated, running is. Running will kill you
Look at the size of him here though. Its fair to say hed stopped running and fitness for a long time.
@@skillsmachine9164 True
Absolute legend, but the only problem was he cut in front of me in the line once
He died today :(
Couch sounding like darth vader here .
Lovely bloke gone far too soon. 🙁

@johnnytheprick and Gary Ayres and John Kennedy jr, probably says it about everyone.
He says it about everyone. Full time troll. 2015 at the Salamanca markets must have been rocking
Didn’t you also say that about Neil Balme as well so that’s now 5 blokes have cut in front of you so that means your very unlucky or full of shit
@johnnythepr1ck cut/paste specialist
Your a flog!
RIP Paul Couch
