West Coast Eagles legend Ben Cousins signs shirtless photo for 100 lucky fans
Just over a week after posing shirtless, Ben Cousins has delivered for fans once again, offering out signed pics to a handful of lucky admirers.
Just over a week ago, the Brownlow medallist was challenged by Mix94.5’s Pete & Kymba to replicate one of the shirtless photos taken of him during the peak of his fame as a West Coast player in the early 2000s.
The 45-year-old did just that, producing a black and white photo of himself lying on a faux-fur rug in dark jeans with a big smile.

Caller Sasha said: “This photo epitomises your return to greatness and fame – and everything that is fantastic about you!”
“What a hunk-a-rama! I’m nearly 60 and happily married… but there’s always time for a change!” caller Sue said.
On Wednesday, the former AFL star met with 100 lucky listeners at the Subiaco studio where he posed for photos, had some laughs and handed out his signed shirtless photo.
“I wondered if it was going to be a no-show, just me and the pictures! But there are a few people here I’ve met before and a few people have brought old photos in from when I was playing. It’s so nice to see everyone come down!” Cousins said.
One fan, Jane, who had been lining up since 7am, couldn’t find the words to describe how she was feeling.
“I’m speechless!” she said.
Cousins has been following an intense training regime as he prepares to hit the stage later this year for the Seven Network show Dancing with the Stars.
The Eagles star can be heard live on Mix 94.5 Pete and Kymba for Breakfast every Wednesday and via LiSTNR.
