League Teams Fabulous Grand Finals Of The Sixties

Back in the beginning of time there was League Teams on late Thursday nights on Melbourne's Channel 7 television station.

At that time, there would gather the Three Wise Men..

Jack Dyer, Lou Richards and Bob Davis.

Most vocal of course was one of the greatest footballers of the 1930s, the little magpie, Lou 'Louie the Lip' Richards from Collingwood. Sitting nearby was another famed star of the 1930s, Richmond ruck and Captain, the feared 'Captain Blood', Jack Dyer. Keeping those two in check was panel chairman and Geelong coach, Bob Davis.

Each week those three would meet to discuss team selections for that weekend's Aussie Rules matches. With Lou Richards providing most of the killer one-liners, the panel developed and delivered a uniquely Australian style of humour -- this really was a great comedy program, delivered in the guise of a sports-show.

League Teams clearly inspired the current Footy Show.
