The incident which personifies Boozy's toughness was that I do remember going to a match the previous year where we hammered the Sea Eagles 56-12. Boozy's child was born in the early hours of that morning and he had stayed up all night in the case the child was born (i.e. he had no sleep on game day). To the shock of even his own teammates, he still nominates to play later that afternoon, has a blinder for us and scored a hat-trick.
After feeling so tired from not sleeping for more than 30 hours or so after I arrived back from overseas last time, I can't imagine how buggered he must've felt at full-time that day. He must've felt like he was in a sleepwalk playing that day. He probably wanted to go home ASAP and just crash on the bed rather than do press-conferences, interviews and post-game functions at Wests etc.
Such a shame his latter years at the Knights were marred by constant injuries. He is definitely one of the toughest (physically and mentally) Knights players I've ever seen.
