The Greek Team of the Century was a representative team chosen in 2004 in the sport of Australian rules football.[1]
Anthony Koutoufides and Peter Daicos were named vice-captains; Lou Richards was captain. The criterion for selection was that any Greek blood whatsoever constituted eligibility for the team. The farthest bloodline was from Russell Morris, whose fourth great-grandfather was Greek.[2] Koutoufides was also listed in the Italian Team of the Century.
