Former Australia batsman David Boon regrets chugging 52 beers on a flight from Australia to England, back in 1989. As per a report in the Daily Star, Boon believes many remember him for that incident only.
“What I won’t deny is that we had a beer,” he said. “But to be honest if it was that many how the hell would I know?
“We all do stupid things in our lives and I’ll finish by just being serious. You have fun you do something and then you think ‘s*** what about the ramifications’, to your family to your children.”
“It caused some cr*p over the years and it’s something that I regret a lot. And I was stupid to be able to do that when you’re in the public eye.’’
Boon also revealed, that it was Terry Alderman who initiated the session, and then was egged on by his teammates. If that is not enough, Dean Jones gave him company till about 22 beers before falling asleep. Funnily enough, Jones woke up to a thunderous applause amidst an announcement by the captain, informing everyone that Boon had reached the 52-beer mark.
