As much as I utterly despise Collingwood, this guy was and will forever be remembered as a legend of both the club and the game.
RIP Lou.

Looking forward to Sam Newmans tribute to Lou Richards Thursday night.
I remember one they did on League Teams for fish balls and mentioned something along the lines of it must take ages to cut them off all of those fish.

one of the All time greats, RIP
Always enjoyed his commentary. One of the things I respected most about him as a commentator was that even though he was a Collingwood icon, you never sensed any bias in his commentary. A trait that many modern-day commentators failed to follow.
RIP Lou, I was born in the mid 70s and to me he was and always will be the voice of football. Will be sadly missed

Very sad news, Lou was a true great of the game, and a pioneer of the footy media along with Jack and Bob.
Really? I think he speaks well when a footy legend passes away.

Great on the field and one of the greatest ever of the field, opened the door for all these media personalities ex footballers talking footy.
Hoping it was fake news
A real legend on and off the footy field
Had the chance to go to WOS on the 70's , if it looked amateur on tv it was lol
Will be missed by the Football fraternity and the public
Loved your work Lou

It makes me sad for the state of footy commentary and personalities now - to hear their calls in the 70s and 80s - clear, funny, focused on the action - its sad that that has been lost and we are forced on free to air to listen and watch utter flogs ruin a great game
Yeah he can be a dick at times but I don't mind him each to thier own I guess.

Considering he has been ill for sometime, I don't think they will focus on his passing in the way you would if he was 49 but he was a Collingwood great, a great of the competition but more importantly he was part of the generation that helped to make the footy media, he basically made it possible for the current generation to enjoy being in the same industry.
RIP Lou Richards, sad day for the football community and in particular his beloved Collingwood Family.
RIP Lou.
What a legend.

I remember watching the tv show Northern Exposure & in a scene they had footy playing on a tv in the background, with Lou's unmistakable commentary.

Loved watching him on Sunday mornings when I was a kid.
RIP a true Collingwood and AFL Legend.
