#25- Aussie rules Footballer- Matthew Richardson.  — 8 months ago

Matthew “Richo” Richardson (born March 19, 1975), is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for Richmond in the Australian Football League. He has been the club’s key forward through the late 1990s and the 2000s, and the club’s leading goalscorer twelve times, and has been selected in the all-Australian team in 1996 and 2001.

Educated at St Kevin’s College in Melbourne, Richardson was the fourth pick (a father-son selection) in the 1992 AFL Draft, recruited from Devonport, Tasmania. Combining a 196-centimetre frame with exceptional speed and athletic capacity for a large man, on his day he has been a dominant presence for the Tigers.

In 2004, a decision to step back involvement in the Tigers’ “leadership group” (the small group of senior players who help lead the club on and off-field) and focus on additional strength training seems to have paid off, with a flurry of goals in the early part of the season after returning from injury including a career best 10 against the Western Bulldogs. Richardson finished with a tally of 65 goals for the season.

In 2005 under the coaching of Terry Wallace he kicked 65 goals again, this time with much more consistency throughout the season.

Until recently Richardson had a much maligned relationship with his supporters. He was infamous for his poor body language and onfield barrating of teammates. That was until in 2007 he became one of the most respected AFL footballers due to his courage and passion by playing a game with a fractured eye socket and broken nose and still managing to kick four goals.

In 2007, he won his first ever club best-and-fairest, beating young gun Nathan Foley by a single vote.

#22- George Strait  — 8 months ago

George Harvey Strait,
(born May 18, 1952), is an American country music singer. The native Texan is known for his honky tonk country western sound. Strait is sometimes referred to as the “King of Country” and some critics call Strait a living legend (Bego, 2001). He is well known for his unique style of western swing music, barroom ballads, honky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional country western music.

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Strait has been nominated for more CMA awards than any other artist. He holds the record for most Number 1 songs on Billboard Country Music charts, and has had more albums certified gold or platinum in the United States than any other country artist and only Elvis Presley and The Beatles have more overall.

Filmography
Strait has acted in multiple feature films. He had a bit part in The Soldier (1982) and Mystery, Alaska and starred in Pure Country (1992). He also appeared as himself in The Horse Whisperer (1998) and Grand Champion (2002).

Pure Country featured George Strait in the lead role as “Dusty”, a famous country singer who strays too far from his country roots and traditional sound. The movie provided the opportunity for Strait to branch out from his own traditional country sound for a more rock-and-roll approach. The soundtrack to the album, also called Pure Country, produced several hit singles for Strait.

#21- Aussie Cowboys.... hmmmm Troy Dann!  — 8 months ago

Born on 29th November 1973, Troy Dann grew up on a cattle station near Alice Springs, Australia. Troy Dann is the star of Aussie TV show ‘Outback Adventures’ where he tackled a different dangerous feat every week. For hunk fans his best moment – of the various states of undress in every episode – was wearing nothing but a G – string. Troy’s feat has gained such notoriety that top-rating radio personalities, Martin & Molloy, gave it number one billing on their 1998 list of television’s most memorable moments.

Now that’s what I call “A Real Aussie Bloke”

# 19- My first Aussie entry.. I'm *NOT* loyal when it comes to cute guys!  — 8 months ago

Adam Brand… oh my!
Adam Brand is Australia’s hottest young country artist proven by his three wins from five nominations in 1999’s CMAA awards Adam Brand was born in Perth and moved to Victoria where he was educated.

At just age 10 he was playing drums in the church band. When he was 16 he left home and was on the road with his uncle selling leather belts out of the back of a van. Here is where he developed an appreciation for bush ballads and trucking songs of Slim Dusty as well as George Strait and Travis Tritt. During the miles on the road he learned the songs and dreamed of becoming a country singer.

After a short stay in Queensland Adam returned to Perth where he formed a country band. He was inspired by the new wave of young country artists including James Blundell, Lee Kernaghan, Vince Gill and Dwight Yoakam.

Less than 2 years ago he left his hometown of Perth and made the move to Sydney.

Here he met his manager Graham Thompson. This resulted in the release of the brilliant first self-titled album.

The release of Adams debut album shows the great talent and incredible writing ability of this hot new young artist. The debut album “Adam Brand” contains songs about the real people and events in Adam’s life.

Be sure to see Adam live whenever you can to see the singer /songwriter at his craft.

Adam can be seen on Music Country performing Last Man Standing , Grandpa’s Piano and Dirt Track Cowboys, Good Friends and Beating Around the Bush. As well as a duet with Melinda Schneider “Love Away The Night”
