The Howie Games

241: Leigh Matthews (Part B)


Listen Later

He is one of the most influential figures in Australian sport — and his story is as powerful as the way he played.

From a teenager bursting onto the scene at Hawthorn to becoming one of the most feared and respected players the game has ever seen, Leigh’s career is stacked with extraordinary moments. Four premierships as a player. Over 900 goals. A reputation as one of the toughest competitors to ever pull on a guernsey. But that’s just the beginning.

Leigh takes us inside his incredible journey — how he got his start, the mindset that fuelled his legendary career, his transition to coaching, and the honest reflections that have made him one of the game's great storytellers.

Whether it’s breaking a point post in half, leading Collingwood to drought-breaking glory, masterminding the Brisbane Lions’ famous three-peat, or analysing the modern game, Leigh shares it all with sharp detail, raw honesty, and a brilliant sense of humour.
