Never has a Dancing With The Stars contestant's blood run so blue as
it has in Anthony Koutoufides.
Carlton Football Club Captain, Anthony Koutoufides has had an
outstanding career in 264 senior matches with the Carlton Football
Club since making his senior debut in 1992. A prototype footballer
of the 21st Century, Koutoufides has the sheer natural athletic
ability and physique to dominate a football match and is regarded
highly in the AFL as a hero and role model within the public.
He was a member of the 1995 Carlton Premiership side, is a dual pre-
season premiership player, a dual Carlton Best & Fairest winner and
has been Captain of the Carlton Football Club since 2004. In 2000
Koutoufides was awarded both the AFLPA and the Australian Football
Media Association Most Valuable Player.
"Kouta" as he is affectionately known, is married to Susie and they
have two children a son, Jamie (3 years) and daughter Monique (22
months).

Will the fitness Anthony has achieved through his football training
help him on the show? "It uses different muscles to the ones used
for footy. I know it is going to be hard work to get good results on
the night but I am looking forward to learning all the different
types of dances. My mum loves dancing and in the back of my mind I
have always wanted to be able to dance."
