As flamboyant AFL legend Warwick Capper sashays past his 60th lap of the planet, he's not letting the anniversary define him.
"I still think I'm 30," he tells Woman's Day, flashing an immaculate set of Hollywood white teeth, complete with two gold caps.
"The problem is my brain tells me I can do things I've always done, but my body now lets me down. I'd still love to be playing footy and bouncing on a trampoline, but I can't."
Known for his larger-than-life personality and show-stopping performances on and off the field, the former full-forward for the Sydney Swans believes his appeal stems from his genuine nature.
"I'm a larrikin, I make people laugh and Aussies love that," boasts Melbourne-based Warwick, who arguably wore the tightest shorts in the AFL through the mid-'80s.
"They were a bit uncomfortable, but I loved the attention. I had a great rear end - it was good for marketing."
