Footy great Warwick Capper is preparing to celebrate his 60th birthday with an elaborate star-studded bash.
The legendary larrikin will step out in a pink and leopard skin outfit for the July party at the Pier Hotel in Port Melbourne.
He has engaged Shannon Noll, Boom Crash Opera, Taxiride and Brian Mannix to perform on the night with 300 guests invited.
They include Ricky Nixon, Sam Newman, Wayne Carey, Anthony Koutoufides, Matthew Richardson and David Rhys-Jones. But Capper said his old mate Mark “Jacko” Jackson won’t be there.
“I’ve sacked him, he scares all the kids away and would give an aspro a headache,’’ he said.
He added: “I’ll put $10k on the bar and it’ll probably be the last party I’ll have before I die.
“I had my appendix burst two years ago and almost died but I’m good now.
“The theme is just being sexual like me. I only look 39, I’ve done my eyes and had a bit of Botox, I’m a very attractive man. I’m more popular than Wayne Carey.”
Capper has already treated himself to a new tattoo for the milestone — a tiger on his arm.
His birthday is in June but he won’t celebrate until a month later because he is appearing on the new season of Ten’s Amazing Race with his son Indiana, 29.
“It’s the series with Beau Ryan and I was meant to co-host it before Covid hit, we’re excited,’’ Capper said.
“But the party will still go off. I’ll have all my mates and it’ll be full of attractive people and great music with me on drums.”
Capper said he and his partner of 10 years, Lisa Arocca, would get married next year.
