Jim Krakouer Biography

Jim Krakouer is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on October 13, 1958 in Mount Barker, South Australia, Australia.

Krakouer made his senior football debut for North Mount Barker in 1974 at the age of 15, kicking five goals. In September 1974, Jim and a cousin were charged with rape, and despite claiming that the sex was consensual, they were convinced by their lawyer to plead guilty and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, with a six-month minimum. They were incarcerated in a juvenile prison 300 kilometres from Mount Barker in Bunbury. Upon his release, Krakouer returned to Mount Barker and despite having missed a third of the football season, won the league’s best and fairest award by 5 votes. The following year, only three weeks after gaining his driver’s licence, he crashed his car into a road worker and was found guilty of dangerous driving causing death and sentenced to 18 months’ jail. While in prison, this time near Mount Barker, he was once allowed to play football for North Mount Barker on day release, but this caused outrage in the Albany community.

Krakouer moved to Perth to play for Claremont in the WAFL in 1977. At first he played in the junior Colts team, but by July the league team’s poor form had prompted the club president Wal Maskiell to ask that Krakouer be given a game in the league team. He performed well and maintained his position in the side for the rest of the season. In 1978 his brother Phillip joined him at Claremont and they both had a successful season. Jim was named in the state squad and Phil scored more goals than any other debutant. Jim made his interstate debut in 1979, a year before Phil. They played their first state game together in 1981, in an 87-point win over South Australia, with Jim and Gary Buckenara sharing the Simpson Medal as best players.
