Footage of AFL legend Wayne Carey on dating show Perfect Match more than 30 years ago is resurfacing online – and fans say he ‘predicted his future’ from criminal allegations during the episode
Vintage footage of football legend Wayne Carey has resurfaced and some fans say he predicted his own future.
Thirty-three years ago, when the AFL legend was 18 years old, he appeared on a dating show called Perfect Match.
The show’s “blind date” format saw a young woman ask three different men different questions, then ask her favorite questions based on his answers.
A young Carey was “gentleman number two” on the show and was asked by a blonde beauty, “If I saw your picture on the front page of a newspaper, what would the headline be?”
The young North Melbourne player tried to joke and replied: ‘Probably found guilty of all charges.’

Speak further earlier this week The truth hurts podcastCarey spoke about his performance on the dating show saying he has “no idea” why he gave that answer, but still managed to land the date.
“That answer, I think it’s online and says I was predicting my future,” he said.
“Now, why would I come up with such an answer, I’m not sure. I will say this, I have the date.
“I don’t have any matches, but she picked me because apparently her mom was in the crowd and said ‘pick number 2.'”

After the young lady chose Carey for the date in 1990, they were allowed to ride a limousine together and have a fancy dinner at a French restaurant.
Many internet users have shared the footage of the AFL great online, saying he was ‘predicting his future’.
This is not only because he has made headlines for his sporting achievements, but he has also been involved in criminal charges.
He has a history of bad behavior, including assaulting police and infamously throwing wine in his then-girlfriend Kate Neilson’s face in 2007 and giving her glasses.
