- The art of listening.
About Leigh Matthews
Former Australian Rules Football player and coach
Leigh Matthews is still the youngest official legend in the Australian Football Hall of Fame, as a player with the Hawthorn Football Club from 1969-1985. He was an eight-time club champion winner, four-time premiership player and premiership captain. It is a record without parallel which has led to Leigh being regarded as the AFL Player of the Century.
He stepped into the coaching ranks at the famous Collingwood F.C. in 1986 and in 1990 took the club to it’s first premiership since 1958. The Brisbane Lions were on the bottom of the premiership and in disarray when they appointed Matthews as their coach in 1999 and he led the Lions to three flags in succession (2001, 2002, and 2003) and to runner’s up in 2004, a feat that has them ranked as the finest team of the modern era.
Since retiring from coaching, Leigh has become a respected commentator on television, radio and writes for the AFL website. He was recently upgraded to Legend status in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
