"Lethal" Leigh Mathews earned his moniker in many ways.
Considered the greatest player of all time in Aussie rules football, he scored, he dominated, and he was feared because he could put you to sleep. He then went on to coach two different teams to a combined 4 premierships, the super bowls of Aussie Rules.
