Timeline

1973

Anthony Koutoufides (born 18 January 1973), also known by his nickname of Kouta, is a retired Australian rules footballer with the Carlton Football Club.

Considered by many as one of the most powerful and athletic players of all time, he played in almost every position and was often called the prototype of the modern footballer.

Of Greek and Italian descent, Koutoufides has been an Australian celebrity, making numerous television appearances both during and after his football career.

1984

Koutoufides was an outstanding track and field athlete, competing from grade six and winning gold in high jump at the 1984 Australian All Schools Championships.

He also competed in the 110m hurdles and the discus.

He aspired to the Olympics.

His older brother Paul Koutoufides (who also played for Lalor and East Thomastown) was recruited by Carlton.

The club had also pursued Anthony, however, he initially rejected a 3-year professional contract to focus on amateur athletics.

1990

After his brother made his reserves debut for Carlton on Round 22 1990 Koutoufides followed him as a career move and was officially recruited by the club.

His profile grew through the early to mid-1990s, and he was a star of the game by 1995.

Koutoufides was best known for both his strong mark, and his incredible one-handed capability at stoppages.

He was better than any other player in the league at picking the ball up off the ground with one hand, and then looping that arm over opponents to set up clearing handpasses.

1991

He played 50 games in the reserves, where he won the 1991 reserves best and fairest with Carlton.

1992

Anthony made his AFL debut in 1992, quickly establishing himself as one of the most versatile and athletic players ever to play the game.

He was a strong mark, a beautiful kick and a hard runner.

1995

He played in Carlton's 1995 premiership, earning All-Australian selection in that year.

1996

From 1996 to 1999, Koutoufides was a solid contributor to the team, playing more often in key positions.

1997

This was usually in defence, but played some games in the forward line, scoring his career-best 6.4 against Collingwood in 1997.

He was the club leading goalkicker in 1997 with 28 goals.

1999

In 1999, he was selected in the final Victorian State of Origin team, his only ever Big V.

2000

Koutoufides rose to greatness in 2000, his best season.

He played 20 games, averaging 26 disposals, over six marks and nearly two goals a game.

He managed his career-high 39 disposals against Sydney in Round 8.

He was clear favourite in the Brownlow Medal, but suffered a knee injury (torn posterior cruciate ligament) in Round 20 against Essendon in front of 91,000 fans; he held the equal-lead in the Brownlow count at the time of his injury, but unable to poll votes in the final three games, he ultimately finished fourth.

He would also fail to win Carlton's best and fairest, that prize shared between Brett Ratten and Scott Camporeale, but he won the prestigious AFLPA MVP Award (now known as the Leigh Matthews Trophy), and would gain All-Australian selection for the second time; his knee injury would prevent him from taking part in the International Rules series.

2001

Koutoufides' PCL injury was healed before the start of 2001, and he had another stellar season, finally winning his first club best and fairest.

However, in the semi-final against Richmond, he again sustained a knee injury, this time a very serious torn anterior cruciate ligament.

2002

He would not play again until Round 15, 2002, playing only three games in that year and wearing a specially designed game-day knee brace.

Koutoufides' capacity to jump was severely limited for the following years.

Carlton's poor season was put down to his long-term injury.

2004

Following the retirement of Andrew McKay, Koutoufides was made the captain of the team in 2004, a position he held until 2006.

2005

As captain, Koutoufides won his second best and fairest in 2005, once again a key figure in Carlton's midfield.

2006

He was a gladiator in the Australian television series Gladiators in character as Kouta, "a Gladiator touched by the gods" and won the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006.

The son of Anna (a migrant from Northern Italy) and Jim Koutoufides (a Greek-Cypriot refugee from Egypt) he was born and raised in Lalor, Victoria a suburb in Melbourne near the border of Thomastown.

He was raised in Thomastown and began playing football for the Lalor Football Club juniors and was schooled at Lalor Secondary College.

2007

In 2007, he handed the captaincy to Lance Whitnall.

Koutoufides announced his retirement from AFL football on 31 July 2007.

The decision was made following a hip injury that he suffered against St Kilda in Round 17, 2007 which was discovered to be more severe than first expected.

In Round 18, 2007, Carlton vs Collingwood game, he had a lap of honour and a standing ovation before the match from the Carlton players and the supporters.

Having played 278 games, Koutoufides is eighth all-time on Carlton's list.
