Tony Liberatore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony (Tony) Liberatore (born February 11, 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer.
As one of the shortest players in the history of the game, standing at 163cm, "Libba", of Italian descent, was told he didn't have what it takes to make it at the elite level. But his guts and sheer determination marked him down as one of the Western Bulldogs greats.
The rover won the Brownlow Medal in 1990, and retired in 2002 after 283 games for the Bulldogs. He was much-hated by opposition fans for his ability to play close, pestering tagging roles.
Liberatore coached the Box Hill Hawks in the Victorian Football League in 2003 taking them to the Grand Final. Since 2004, Liberatore has since held an assistant coaching position at the Carlton Football Club.
