As a Cat fan I'm genuinely saddened to hear about the passing of Paul Couch. Couch was a brilliant midfielder for the Cats in the 80's and 90's and won the Brownlow medal in 1989. From what I've read he had a heart attack and passed away at the tragically young age of 51. He was one of my favourite players back in the Blight era and key component of a side that challenged regularly but couldn't quite get the job done.
RIP 'Couchy'.
regards,
REB

I'm no Cats fan, but huge respect. He always seemed such a happy & decent bloke. Really sad for everyone.

Genuinely shocked to read this.
As REB touched on- an integral midfield link in a dominant era for the Cats, despite their grand final failings.
Vale Couchy, a true cat legend.

Genuinely shocked
Had a chat with him one day after a Bays 2s win when Tom played for us 2009.
Was a super bloke and so humble.
RIP Paul Crouch, condolences to Tom and the rest of the Couch family.

Way, way too young to pass. A Brownlow medallist in a club that was strong and chock full of great players at the time. Respect. RIP.

Yep. RIP Couchy. Just a class act.
Only watched the re-run of his Open Mike a few weeks ago.

Really sad to see PC gone way to long.
My old man played a lot of football with him and he was a wonderful person.
