Ang Christou

Ang Christou

Ang Christou (born 16 January 1972) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Football career

Christou played for the Carlton Football Club and along with Anthony Koutoufides was a popular figure as a Greek Australian.

In 2001, Christou had a solid pre-season, but missed the first month of the AFL season due to a knee injury. After his return in Round 7, Christou was noted for his penetrating kicks from defence. However, he was dropped after Round 17 playing only 13 games for the season, including a recall for the finals series of 2001 (receiving limited game time).

Christou will always be remembered for his thumping left foot kick, upwards of 60-65 metres. Whenever taking a kick, short or long, a chant from the Carlton crowd of "WOOF!" would always be heard.

Post-football career

Christou participated in the E. J. Whitten Legends Game in 2003.

There was talk of Christou trying out as a punter for the National Football League in early 2003, a three-man crew from a US club (the identity of which Christou refused to reveal) spent two weeks in Melbourne putting him through a series of stringent tests however no signing resulted.

He currently co-owns the Souvlaki Hut restaurant in Lower Templestowe in Melbourne's north-east with former team-mate Anthony Koutoufides.
