WARWICK CAPPER ‘I'VE MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!'

The former AFL superstar is finally ready to settle down and marry the woman of his dreams

He may have been AFL’s biggest high-flyer in his heyday, but it’s Warwick Capper’s big heart rather than his flamboyant personality or self-professed prowess with the ladies that fiancee Lisa Arocca loves.

Of course, Warwick, 56, still insists it’s those hidden assets he famously displayed in his tiny Sydney Swans shorts in the late-’80s, joking that “she saw Captain Cucumber and thought she’d died and gone to heaven”.

But Lisa, 55, recoils in mock horror at the mere suggestion. “What do you mean?” she asks, adding her own take on it. “I was one of the nicest and hottest girls you’d ever met.”

With his long blonde mullet, tight shorts and high-flying acrobatics, Warwick was the pin-up boy of ’80s AFL, and since retiring in 1991, the former full-forward’s done little to change that view.
