Warwick Capper

Warwick Richard Capper, born on 12 June 1963, is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian and Australian Football League. An accomplished full-forward, he kicked 388 goals in a 124-game career, finished runner-up for the Coleman Medal twice and reached a peak of 103 goals in 1987, the year he also won Mark of the Year for a one-handed mark over Hawthorn defender Chris Langford. Recruited by South Melbourne just before the club moved to Sydney, he became a marketing figure for the league as it expanded north of the Barassi Line, and in 1987 was its highest-paid player. He moved to the Brisbane Bears at the end of that season and retired from the league in 1991.
