4 unusual facts about Anthony Minichiello


Anthony Minichiello

On 22 January 2012, Anthony Minichiello wed Australian shoe-designer, Terry Biviano, in one of the most lavish ceremonies held at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.

Biviano starred in the first season of WAG Nation, a reality show that documents the lives of five wives/girlfriends of Australian sportsmen.

His nickname is "The Count" as he has been noted to bear a resemblance to The Count from Sesame Street.

This severely harmed his chances of regaining his Australian fullback jersey and he was overlooked in favor of both Brett Stewart and Melbourne Storm fullback Billy Slater.
