Hardie Grant Books 2008 8vo softcover 258pp index, colour illus. near fine, review copy stamp on fep. Beginning his AFL career in 1992, Kouta quickly established himself as one of the most versatile and athletic players ever to play the game. Of Greek and Northern Italian heritage, Koutoufides made an early choice to switch from track and field athletics to Australian Rules football. A pin-up boy not only at Carlton, in November 2006 he won the final of Channel 7's hit show Dancing with the Stars. Kouta has never been far from the news (his reported $1 million contract caused a huge stir), but there have been very few players who could match his sheer dominance in the late '90s, and at his best he is simply indestructible. Koutoufides was the Brownlow Medal favourite in 2000; he won the Carlton Best and Fairest in 2001 and 2005; received All Australian honours in 1995 and 2000; and was one of the best on field in Carlton's 1995 Grand Final win. Koutoufides has felt the exhilaration of the highs but also suffered the lows. He was the Carlton captain during the tumultuous period of 2003-2006, when the club was in financial crisis, and twice finished bottom of the ladder. In Kouta, Anthony speaks candidly about his amazing football career, his life outside of football and how the game has changed during his time at the top.
