Clearly retired AFL player Matthew Richardson didn't get that memo.

The 39-year-old, who is affectionately known as Richo to his fans, was spotted on Monday in south Melbourne scoffing down a piece of meat while his long-term girlfriend Genevieve Holliday was so embarrassed she walked behind him.

With his angular jaw hanging open, the handsome former Richmond player lowered the food - that looked like a piece of chicken - into his mouth.

He also enjoyed some dipping sauce to flavour his grub in a small silver metal dish that he held onto tightly.

Chewing with his mouth open didn't at all bother Matthew but it clearly annoyed Genevieve.

She held her head down and tried to go incognito in a large pair of dark sunglasses as she accompanied the sportsman.

While Matthew opted for a grey hoody, a green and navy sleeveless coat and cream jeans for his dine and dash.
