• West Australian dies of suspected heart attack in Perth
• AFL world mourns ‘tragic’ loss of ‘brilliant footballer’

Former AFL forward Andrew Krakouer has been remembered as a “trailblazer” and “just a ripper person” after his death at the age of 42 from a heart attack at his family home in Perth.

The West Australian was the son of Jim Krakouer and nephew of Phil Krakouer, the brothers who entertained North Melbourne fans with skilful play in the 1980s.
