On the farewell to Optus Oval DVD, Alex says something along the lines of really regretting leaving Carlton to go to St Kilda. I love seeing past players with an obvious passion for the club.

If you haven't got the DVD ask for it as a birthday present. It is only for Carlton supporters.

Good on him for the hall of fame honour. Does he have any sons?

Good player Alex was,but where is Fraser Brown dam it and Peter McConville,they should be close to selection especially as Des English,David Glascott,Earl Spalding and Milham Hanna,all good are there already.

Alex was a teriffic player for Carlton of only very slight build but with extreme pace and huge courage.

Played in 3 Premierships (79, 81 & 82).

Would always be taken off on a stretcher when we played Essendon*, no thanks to snipers like Stephen Carey.

Used to stand with his family in the forward pocket in front of the Robert Heatley Stand.

Alex is one a true gentlemen and still has time for a conversation and says hello whenever you happen to bump into him.

Congratulations Alex.


Used to be a great fan of Alex Marcou and used to have his number on my duffle coat as a boy....and as far as I can tell the last person of Greek Cypriot descent to make an impact in the sporting world before Marcos Bagdahtis! :)


Would that make Alexander the Great a Cypriot too?

(BTW, if you ever get a chance, look up a bloke called Daicos - apparently he wasn't too bad a sportsman too, and as Cypriot as Marcel......)

As a boy I always thought he was Cypriot. Probably someone in my family misled me. They'll claim anyone as Cypriot... last I heard they were trying to claim Kieren Perkins, Ian Thorpe and Cathy Freeman! :lol:

Aphrodite was a Cypriot...


Marcou tells some wonderful stories about being given money by StKilda while he retired from footy after Carlton...

As a matter of fact all those blokes do!!!

Will always be remembered for being super quick and super skilled.. but not a very good tackler!!!..

Top bloke!!!!

Still around the club when he can.. and loves it dearly!!!
