Greg Champion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greg Champion is an Australian songwriter, guitarist and radio personality.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Champion is most recognised for his work as part of the Coodabeen Champions as a songwriter. He is an avid Australian rules football fan, supporting the Adelaide Crows and since the 1980s has penned many tunes on the Australian game. Of these, the most famous is That's the Thing about Football, which has gone down as a classic Australian rules song, and has been used on Seven Network's AFL coverage.

Today he appears on ABC Local Radio as part of the Coodabeens team, singing parodies of popular songs and relating them to Australian rules footballers.
