About Warwick
Warwick Capper an Australian Rules full-forward who became a house-hold name playing for the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Bears.
Best known for his flamboyant on-and-off the field personality, Capper still managed to kick 388 goals in 124 games from 1983-1991, his best season being 1987 when he kicked 103 goals. Warwick’s colourful antics and high flying marking ability, plus his style to climb on the backs of players, was a source of controversy with many claiming his marks should have been free kicks to his opponents. Eventually the rules of marking were more strictly enforced.
Capper is also well known for his looks. He had long blond locks, deeply tanned skin and was notorious for his white boots and extremely tight shorts, which formed part of the flamboyant image of the Sydney club in the high-flying Edelsten years of the 1980s. When he moved to the Brisbane Bears at the end of the 1987 season, with a $400,000 agreement for three years, he became the highest paid player in the AFL. He has been inducted into the Swans hall of fame.
Since retiring from football, Warwick has juggled media appearances and various jobs including council road-worker (which led to his appearance in the Life After Dick comedy show at Crown Casino) and regular media appearances on TV for the The Footy Show, on radio for Triple MMM, FoxFM and NOVA and in Zoo and Woman’s Day magazines.
Warwick has performed thousands of live shows for both corporate and public show events and has some hilarious stories from his playing days.
