RIP Arthur The Whistler Koustas

[Tassie Cryptik]

Great supporter, helped stop the merger and his whistle was heard Australia wide, and his What a Victory sign should live on.

Was it Arthur that belted out some tunes at training in the early 2000's to help the boys get motivated to beat * who we hadn't beaten for like 10 years or something?

And wasn't he also the guy who brought that big target to games and moved it around to help to with goal kicking?

RIP Arthur

RIP buddy,
When you used to hear the 2 little whistles when the ball came straight off someone’s boot you knew it was a goal, real stark childhood memory of mine going to watch the hawks 2004 onward.

Was this the guy who used to tell "lift" in or near the cheer squad?

The Hawks received a brutal reminder yesterday that not beating Essendon for nine years simply wasn't good enough. Fanatical supporters Arthur Koustas and Nick Peios took the initiative, hanging signs around Glenferrie Oval and belting out loud music as the players trained. Hawthorn hasn't beaten Essendon since Round 11, 1997, so the duo also cranked up Eye Of The Tiger, YMCA, and Born To Be Alive to motivate the Hawks to face their arch rivals. "And the guys loved it," one Hawks official said

He didn't seem very old, not that always makes a difference.

Arthur was one of three of us who fought hard to save our great club. He was a devoted Hawthorn man, a great mate who was caring and thoughtful as well as very entertaining. Always keeping us up to date with the latest news 24 hours a day via text. I will miss that very much. RIP Arthur...a good man!

No, that's someone else.

Knew Arthur. He had a huge hernia that had been growing for several years.

 

[MrPremiership]

Great touch by the cheersquad to have him on the banner yesterday

Not sure how many of you are aware of this but he was a reasonably well known radio presenter in the 1990's and early 2000's on stations such as KIX FM and City FM.
