      Wow. I am 51. My dad had a heart attack when he was only 6 or 7 years older than me. It damn near killed him. I don't reckon I would survive the same as he got.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  This was a shock. Growing up in Geelong I had the chance to watch a lot of Couchy. Very good player when he was on his game and was very active at schools and hospitals throughout the Geelong region. A real community man and a great Geelong person.
                  But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                  Do you mean Brad Crouch from Adelaide.

                                      RIP couchy.

                                      Such a good footballer. A good old fashioned rover.

                                      Died way too young.

                                              I'd better go and tell my son that Brad isn't Paul's son like I told him at dinner time. He usually fact checks everything I tell him anyway.

                                                  sad news. Taken way too young.

                                                  He was a fine player in what was an excellent team.

                                                  RIP.

                                                      RIP Couchy. If my memory serves me correct Paul worked as a garbologist in his playing days to get as fit as he could. Be sorely missed.
