David Boon said he regrets his epic 52 beer-supping session on a flight as it\u2019s all some folk remember him for.<\/p>\n

The mustachioed Aussie cricketer scored 21 centuries, 7,000 Test runs and made more than 100 international appearances which helped his nation win their first World Cup. <\/p>\n

But it is the half-century he notched up on a flight from Australia to England in 1989 that secured his legendary status. He went on to become the face of Victoria Bitter.<\/p>\n

\u00a322 a month<\/p>\n

But now 62 and chairman of Cricket Tasmania, Boon said he regretted the binge. \u201cWhat I won\u2019t deny is that we had a beer,\u201d he said. \u201cBut to be honest if it was that many how the hell would I know?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all do stupid things in our lives and I\u2019ll finish by just being serious. You have fun you do something and then you think \u2018s*** what about the ramifications\u2019, to your family to your children.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt caused some cr*p over the years and it\u2019s something that I regret a lot. And I was stupid to be able to do that when you\u2019re in the public eye.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Boon said the session was initiated by legendary Australian bowler Terry Alderman and was \u201cegged\u201d on by his team mates.<\/p>\n

Batsman Dean Jones, who died in 2020 aged 59, claimed to have kept pace with Boon for 22 beers before falling asleep. He said he was woken by thunderous applause and an announcement from the plane\u2019s captain saying Boon had reached 52.<\/p>\n
