Anthony Koutoufides will no doubt be remembered for many things; Carlton Captain, his famous super-build, his ability to play in a number of positions and thrive, his outstanding fairness out on the field, his pay-packet, his ability to pick up and hold the ball with one hand, and for being a mildly spoken nice guy. But above all, “Kouta” will go down in history as a Club legend.

The 191cm right-foot star in the #43 guernsey came to the Blues via a zone selection, a form of recruiting replaced by the draft (he was recruited from Lalor, he also played at East Thomastown). Although it took a few seasons for Kouta the utility to take his place, Kouta began to dominate on the wing over 1994 and 1995 and he was unlucky not to win the Norm Smith Medal in our GF win of 1995. He came 2nd in the Club Best & Fairest in 1999, third in 2000 while he won All-Australian selection plus the Players Association MVP award, and then won the Club Best & Fairest in 2001 and 2005.

Kouta was unstoppable in 2000, including a run of games mid season in which we would dominate.

In later years he would play occasional key position roles, including 6 from Full Forward one day, plus rucking in his early days when we needed some mobility. Perhaps of most interest to the historians is Kouta’s change in game from strong marking midfielder to insider clearer, as Ratten’s demise and Kouta’s knees required a change in position.

Kouta’s influence was so important to the Blues that the Blueseum has utilised a ‘story by games’ of Kouta’s career, which highlights wonderful games of Kouta’s career from 1992 to 2007, and can be accessed here.

For a true understanding of Kouta’s potential in many roles across the ground, look no further than his ‘Stat Shot’ in side the Blueseum. From key position player, to midfielder, to extractor, to bit-part player as his age increased, you can see Kouta the player excelling in different areas of the game – from goals, to marks, to clearances, to tackles. His importance to the team in various roles would simply not decline as the years did – Kouta was / is a champ in many different areas of the game.

There was also Kouta’s fair share of injuries, with two major knee injuries in 2000 and 2001 plus a hamstring tendon injury that delayed his debut as captain in 2004. The 2000 knee injury was incurred in a mid-air collision with Bomber Johnson in Round 20 injuring his Posterior Ligament, not to mention our finals chances. The 2001 injury was even more longer term, and caused after Tiger Matthew Knights fell across his knee in the dour 2001 Semi-Final loss. Of course, Kouta tried to return early, playing 3 games with a mattress tied to his leg in Rounds 15-17 of 2002, before re-hurting the knee against the Swans and finishing his season early.

There are so many memories to Kouta’s play that it is hard to pick out the best. The 1999 Preliminary Final where Kouta was dominating at all parts of the ground simultaneously – think about that for a second – was as awesome a game of footy you will see from any one player.

The Spirit of Carlton Past and Present Farewells Chris Pavlou

By Tony De Bolfo
 

Chris Pavlou, who blissfully committed more than 50 years of his life to Carlton as a senior footballer, runner, recruiter, coach, past players President and board member, died yesterday after a brave battle with cancer.

He was 72.

Chris Pavlou in action for the Blues

Chris died peacefully in the company of his family at his home in Frankston, the place from which he was recruited to the club way back in 1958.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years Mary, son Anthony, daughters Trish and Louise, and three grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are to be detailed in Tuesday’s Herald Sun.

The Chris Pavlou story had its origins in Foster, not far from where the rolling hills meet the Gippsland coastline, where he was born on August 18, 1939. Chris’s father hailed from Cyprus and his mother from Ithaka, his parents having migrated to Australia in 1922 and ’34 respectively.

In 1947, after the Pavlous relocated to Frankston to run a fish and chip shop, Chris was enrolled in the local Frankston state school and together with his older brother Con and younger brother George leant assistance to their parents on the premises. Later, Chris followed Con to the Frankston Football Club, turning out with the Under 17s at the tender age of 15.

“As a 15 year-old I didn’t really know much about football to be honest with you, because being of ethnic background I was with my parents working in the shop,” Chris said in a final interview with this reporter recently. “Football wasn’t really a priority because I had to work a bit.”

It was around this time that Chris pledged his passionate support to Carlton, which would linger until his last breath.

Why Carlton?

“Well I had a fight with my brother when Carlton was playing Essendon for the ’47 premiership,” he said. “Of course, Carlton won, but my brother wouldn’t let me listen to the radio, he was pushing me aside.

“Now Frankston wore the same colours as Essendon and we loved Frankston, but he wouldn’t let me listen to the footy . . . and it was a close game with Stafford kicking the goal for Carlton to win by a point, so I had a go at him and said ‘I’m going to barrack for Carlton from now on’.”

“The next day Mum went and bought me a Carlton jumper so I put that on and supported them ever since . . . and they’ve been my life really. For 51 years Carlton has been my life.”

It was at Frankston that Chris’s footballing talents were first identified by the late Carlton premiership player and coach Jim Francis.

“Jim Francis happened to live at Long Island in a holiday home at Frankston,” Chris recalled, “and he came along to watch us at training.

“I don’t know what prompted him to do that . . . whether he was going for a walk along the beach . . . but he headed up to the Frankston footy ground, saw us playing and having a kick, and the next thing I knew he asked me if I’d like to have a run at Carlton.

Carlton's 1961 team at Princes Park. Pavlou sits in the front row, third from the left.

“At that time Carlton were looking for small, quick players. There was Bruce Williams from Morwell, Marty Cross, Johnny Heathcote, Barry Smith and myself – and ‘Handsy’ (Ken Hands) had this idea of getting some pace into the team. There was quite a handful of young quick players who helped get the ball rolling with pace . . . ”

Chris couldn’t believe his luck. “I just got such a buzz to be invited to Carlton – to go to the Carlton Football Club to play – because I barracked for Carlton,” he said.

“I couldn’t believe I had the opportunity to have a run around. I remember walking into the clubrooms and seeing Ken Hands, John Nicholls and Bill Milroy and I’m saying to myself ‘What am I doing here?’.

Chris also remembered Carlton as an accommodating club regardless of creed or religion.

“We just accepted eachother as footballers and friends,” he said. “There was no animosity between us in being Italian or Greek and there were a lot of the Aussie boys there.

“Vasil Varlamos didn’t get there until 1960, but my cousin, John Defteros was there in the under 19s at Carlton. He was about the only Greek connection I had, but in saying that, there were a lot of Greek supporters. A whole group of them used to gather around the wing at Princes Park to cheer the Greeks along.”

Vasil, the 44-game Carlton half-back flanker and perhaps Chris’s dearest friend from his playing days, said “Chris was a first generation Australian of Greek origin just like me, so that was a connection and we became very close”.

“As a player he was fast and he started out as a rover, but he wasn’t strong enough around the packs so they put him on a wing. In ’61 he was probably one of the best wingmen in the League because he beat all the top wingers he played on, Brian Dixon included,” Vasil said.

“He used to line up on a wing on Johnny James’ side of the ground and he played with such enthusiasm. He’d tell you if you did something right and I always remember his encouragement.”

In many respects, Chris’s playing career ended before it began. Completing his senior debut in the second round match of 1958 (he earned Allen Aylett as his maiden opponent against North Melbourne at Princes Park) Chris’s 31-game tenure as a rover and wingman ended in the 14th round of 1961, when in a match against Footscray at the Western Oval, he cannoned into the fence, sustaining a serious knee injury which he further aggravated after hobbling to the forward pocket.

Chris was 22 at the time, but would never again don the No.35 dark Navy Blue guernsey . . . and it hit him hard.

“It upset me that much because I was on the verge of something. I wish I could have played a couple more years, just to see where it had have ended up,” he said.

“We made the Grand Final in 1962, then Barassi came, then the great years of 1968 and 1970 . . . I didn’t get the opportunity to do those things and I often ask myself ‘How would I have gone?.”

A relaxed Chris Pavlou in 2009.

In the aftermath of this personal setback, Chris embarked on what would be a five-year coaching career with East Launceston through the early 1960s, during which time he completed a playing comeback – only to suffer another serious knock to the knee.

But Chris was Carlton to the core and such was the depth of his admiration for the place and the lifelong friendships forged with men like George Armstrong, Jack Wrout, Ken Hands, Jack Carney and Bert Deacon that Chris inevitably returned to the mainland to renew club ties.

Appointed Under 19s coach in 1973, Chris was afforded the rare opportunity to develop burgeoning Blues of the calibre of Peter Francis and the inaugural Norm Smith Medallist Wayne Harmes (whom Chris actually recruited) and “Harmesy” was one of a number of former players to visit Chris in recent weeks.

Twenty years later, Chris was rewarded with Life Membership of the Carlton Football Club – only to further his commitment to the cause by championing the past players for 12 years and contributing at board level for almost two years through those dim dark days of the early 21st century.

Which came as no real surprise to those like Vasil Varlamos, who said of his former teammate: “I have never known anybody to love a football club like Chris”.

Anthony Pavlou said today that “Dad’s wish was to spend one more Christmas with his family”.

“He fought the hard battle to make Christmas and he achieved that,” Anthony said.

“Of course he loved Carlton too, but the Pavlou family days at the football, cheering on the mighty Blues, will never be quite the same without him, for that was part of our ritual every week.

The Spirit of Carlton in 1934

Blueseum contributor Peter McLean has reproduced an article from The Age in 1934 on the Blueseum. We reproduce it here for two reasons, to show how long Carlton players and officials past and present have been getting together and also to highlight the reference to the ‘spirit of carlton’ all the way back in 1934!

——————–

CARLTON VETERANS – An Enjoyable Reunion

Reproduced from the The Age newspaper October 15, 1934 (p4)

Present-day members of the Carlton club were taken back nearly sixty years ago on Saturday night, when a reunion of former players was held in the club’s pavilion. Over two hundred were present, whose services as players ranged from 1877 to 1934. it was a merry night, and the reminiscences of the “old stagers” when they reverted back to the games played from fifteen to sixty years ago were decidedly interesting. Many of them were members of the Carlton team when the matches took place in the open park.Mr. D. Crone, president, welcomed the guests. He said they must consider themselves to have “come back home.” If they did not put the spirit of Carlton into the gathering they would only have themselves to blame. “You belonged to us,” said Mr. Crone, “and we consider you still belong to us. For that reason we heartily welcome you.” (Applause.) Mr. Crone added that he had received a letter from Abe Shearwood, who was unable to attend through illness. Shearwood said he had played in the first match that took place on the oval. He was then opposed to Carlton, but joined the club in 1883, and his team mates included Harry Wilson, Jack Baker, Sam Bloomfield, Dick Frayne (who was captain), Frank Conway, and Tim Maloney.

The oldest player present was Jack Melville (now secretary of the local cricket club), who played from 1877 to 1887. He was closely followed by George Bragge and A. Fitzgerald both from the 1879 – 1887 period. A famous exponent of the game who was warmly welcomed was Dookie McKenzie, who gave valuable service to the club. Jim Russ was the oldest captain present. He led the team in 1886. In those days, he said, the game was exceedingly strenuous, but scrupuiously fair. If the game today was played in the same spirit, and ankle kicking, the use of the knee and the elbow was cut out, it would be the most spectacular game in the world. Peter Williams was captain in 1888. He admitted that he was not a speaker, but he could say, “Thank God, I always played the game.” Then came the leaders of the comparatively recent years:– Jack Wells (1912 13). Alf Baud, Paddy O’Brien, Horry Clover and Ray Brew. The latter urged all former players to work for the success of the old club and to give present-day players the advantage of their experience. Vin Gardiner, son of the late Alderman Gardiner, former captain and coach, was present. A. Johnson, this season’s captain was also present.

The oldest official at the gathering was Mr. A. Shaw, who was president from 1885 to 1891. He was one of the first trustees of the Carlton ground, and a founder of the League. For some years he was chairman of the League laws committee, and is now a life member.

Another former president who attended was Mr. D. Bell chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works. Mr. D. Duff, a vice president in 1878, was also welcomed, as was J. Joyce, now of the Collingwood club.

Mr. Crone, the president, donated a trophy for presentation to the oldest living player in the room. This was handed to Jack Melville, who, as stated, first played in 1877. Afterwards he was three times secretary of the club.

Acknowledging the gift, Mr. Melville said, that though for many years he had been intimately associated with cricket, he had never lost interest in the football club. Contrasting the cost of managing a football club of today as compared with years gone by, he mentioned that in one year when he was secretary the expenditure of the Carlton club was £30. Each player for that year received 2/6 per match for expenses.

An enjoyable programme of vocal and instrumental music was arranged, and a boxing exhibition staged.

Footnote

Blueseum research indicates that Jim Russ was not a captain of the senior Carlton team, he may have captained Carlton in a exhibition match, or was a Second Twenty captain.
The article also mentions that the 1934 captain is A. Johnson, a misprint, as Maurie Johnson was that year’s captain.

£30 = $60, 2/6 = 25c.

The tale of PM’s wife, a Carlton star and a dose of blue language

Reproduced with kind permission from the Round 24, 2011 AFL Record.

By Howard Kotton

There was a fabulous feeling when Carlton’s 1981 premiership team gathered at Etihad Stadium last week. Many stories large and small were recalled, much to the delight of the 650 guests at the annual Spirit of Carlton luncheon.

But the story that had the crowd in fits of laughter was Alex Marcou’s recollection of the Blues’ visit to The Lodge in Canberra.

Adding to the theatre was the presence of former Prime Minister and No. 1 supporter Malcolm Fraser and his wife Tamie, who invited the team to The Lodge after its premiership victory. Marcou has dined out on the story for 30 years and it gets better every time he tells it.

The story involves Marcou and his partner at the time, known only as ‘Fabulous’, who accompanied Marcou and his teammates to Canberra. According to Marcou, everything was going well until ‘Fabulous’ had an unfortunate accident and slipped on a staircase, breaking her ankle. She was taken to hospital, accompanied by Marcou and Tamie Fraser.

Concerned about the young woman’s welfare, Tamie stayed with her in hospital while Marcou returned to the party in the Prime Minister’s car, enjoying some refreshments along the way. After Marcou and ‘Fabulous’ returned to Melbourne, Tamie was so worried about the woman’s welfare she obtained the Blue’s phone number and rang him at home, just as he was about to continue the celebrations.

Needless to say, Tamie’s timing was less than perfect and Marcou initially did not believe the Prime Minister’s wife was the other end of the phone and his reaction, laced with profanity, was priceless.

Marcou was one of 17 players from the 1981 team to attend the luncheon—Norm Smith medallist Bruce Doull, centreman Greg Wells and wingman Phil Maylin were the only absentees.

Coach David Parkin and captain Mike Fitzpatrick spoke, but there were three people in attendance who found it hard to recall the game with any fondness—former Magpies Tony Shaw, Peter McCormack and Rene Kink.

The Collingwood trio shared the stage with three of their Carlton opponents, Marcou, David McKay and Ken Sheldon, before the formal festivities ended and the conviviality and good humour continued well into the night.

 

Please see below video of the story referred to in this article.

 

Help put our past players in the frame

A total of 1136 men have represented the Carlton Football Club at senior level since the inaugural season of League competition in 1897. At the time of writing, 478 of them are still living and 658 deceased, with 417 consigned to history as “lost” players . . . at least, photographically speaking.

As such, the club, in conjunction with the Spirit of Carlton and The Blueseum, is seeking the assistance of the public to fill the void, confirmed in a recent audit of player images.

The Carlton Football Club would like to hear from those who may have a photograph/photographs of the 418 former players in their keep, preferably at the time that they played and, even better, sporting their much-prized Carlton guernseys – anyone and everyone from Otto Buck and Garney Goodrick through to Bobadil Hooper and Dick Wittman.

Jimmy Aitken, Carlton’s first captain in 1897, is included amongst the lost.
