Timeline

1963

Warwick Richard Capper (born 12 June 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Bears in the Australian Football League (AFL), known before 1990 as the Victorian Football League (VFL).

1980

He became the VFL's highest-paid player in the mid-1980s, and his blonde mullet, white or pink boots, and skintight shorts helped make him one of the game's most recognisable figures.

He was recruited by VFL club South Melbourne and played in the under-19s for two years: 1980 and 1981.

1982

Capper returned to Oakleigh District in 1982 to play senior football with bigger bodies and to enhance his chances of playing senior football with the Swans.

1983

After an outstanding season with the club and winning the best and fairest in the competition, Capper was given the opportunity to play for the Swans at senior level in 1983 and subsequently moved to Sydney for the club's second year in the city.

Capper was noted for his marking ability rather than his kicking accuracy.

1985

Off the field, he was known for his association with flamboyant Swans owner Geoffrey Edelsten, as well as his foray into pop music with the 1985 single "I Only Take What's Mine", the music video of which features Capper's pink sports car and Edelsten's helicopter.

His post-football career has included various high-profile media appearances, including comedy tours; a self-released sex tape; a failed run for Queensland state politics; and work as a stripper, male escort, and Surfers Paradise Meter Maid.

Capper was raised in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Huntingdale and briefly attended Brighton Grammar School.

His father Wally played football in the Ovens and Murray League with Lou Richards and for reserves before a broken leg cut short his playing career, which led him to later being a Melbourne City Council worker.

Capper began playing football for the Northvale Junior Football Club in Mulgrave, and later at Oakleigh District Football Club with future VFL teammate David Rhys-Jones.

In 1985, Capper released a single "I Only Take What's Mine", referred to as "wonderfully woeful".

1986

He finished runner up in the Coleman Medal in both 1986 (to Brian Taylor) and 1987 (to Tony Lockett).

He was also well known for his looks, his long blonde locks of hair, deeply tanned skin, white boots and extremely tight shorts.

This formed part of the flamboyant image of the Swans club during the years in which it was owned by Geoffrey Edelsten.

Adding to their already extravagant personas, Capper would fly around in Edelsten's pink helicopters.

Moreover, he had a bright pair of newcomers called 'Bros' and according to Capper, "had the world at his feet".

In 1986, he made a guest appearance on the Australian soap opera Neighbours and has also starred in a pornographic movie.

Since retiring from football, Capper has juggled media appearances and various jobs, including council roadworker.

1987

An accomplished full-forward, Capper kicked 388 goals over a 124-game career, finishing runner-up twice in the Coleman Medal with a peak of 103 goals in 1987.

He was also famous for his high-flying spectacular marks, one of which earned him a Mark of the Year award in 1987.

Known for his colourful personality and flashy looks, Capper was used as a marketing tool amid VFL expansion north of the Barassi Line, and for a time he was one of the few Australian rules footballers with a high profile in New South Wales and Queensland.

With several spectacular high marks in his career, he was nominated for Mark of the Year on several occasions and won in 1987, with a mark that is captured in Jamie Cooper's painting The Game That Made Australia, commissioned by the AFL in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the sport.

Although Capper was more famous for his marking, in 1987 he managed 103 goals at an average of 4.48 per game.

When Capper moved to the Brisbane Bears at the end of the 1987 season with a $350,000 three-year contract, he became the highest-paid player in the VFL.

Capper did not do well in Queensland and returned to Sydney after having kicked only 71 goals in 34 games.

1992

At the end of his VFL career, he returned to Queensland in 1992 to play semi-professionally with the Southport Sharks.

1993

In 1993, Capper posed in an explicit pictorial with his then-wife, Joanne Capper, for the August issue of Australian Penthouse magazine.

He also announced that he was to become a male stripper.

He has had continued participation in football only through the charity E. J. Whitten Legends Game.

2002

In 2002, he had a brief stint as skills coach for former club Southport.

2003

In 2003, Capper guest starred as AFL footballer "Dwayne Carey" (a play on Wayne Carey) in season 3 of the television series Pizza.

Capper made regular appearances on television as a guest on shows such as The AFL Footy Show.

He appeared briefly on the reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, but he was ejected from the series by the show's producer for exposing his penis to fellow housemate Kimberley Cooper during an argument.

2005

In 2005, Capper released an autobiography called Fool Forward in which he openly admitted to using illegal drugs (amphetamines) during his VFL/AFL career.

2006

In 2006, Capper again made the news after an incident with film director Kayran Noskca, leading to a broken nose.

2008

In 2008, Capper again made news headlines when he had cosmetic surgery involving botox and liposuction.

He also challenged former professional boxer Jeff Fenech to a fight.

2009

In 2009, he did box in a promotional charity match, losing a match against Wendell Sailor, whom Capper had previously criticised.

Capper intended to contest the 2009 Queensland state election in the electoral district of Beaudesert as an independent.
