Good Chat with Robert'Dipper'DiPierdomenico - a podcast by James Szabo

Jimmy Szabo sits down with special sporting stars each week, discussing their story, interests, on-field feats, and everything you, the fans, want to know!

Today’s guest is an absolute legend of our great game.
 
As one of the toughest and most determined players the footy world has ever seen, this man notched up 240 games for the Hawthorn Football Club, collecting 5 day-premierships, 4 night premierships, a BROWNLOW MEDAL and an induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. 

He’s also been named in the VFL/AFL Italian Team of the Century, and with a media career longer than his famous moustache, he’s graced our screens for many years since he hung up the boots and has become an icon all around the nation.

 It was a  great pleasure to welcome Robert DiPierdomenico to the GOOD CHAT podcast!
