Peter Bosustow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Bosustow (born October 27, 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.
Known as "The Buzz", Bosustow was a flamboyant character recruited from Western Australia who regularly took big marks. While Bosustow only played from 1981-1983 in the VFL (with the Carlton Football Club), he left his mark on the league, playing 65 games for 146 goals and playing in two premiership sides (in 1981 and 1982). He left the VFL to return to the WAFL for 1984.
Bosustow is best remembered for winning both Mark and Goal of the Year in 1981. At Princes Park, Bosustow flew high above a pack at full forward to take a hanger on his chest to claim the Mark of the Year. Goal of the Year came at VFL park: Bosustow smothered a clearing kick from a defender 15 metres around from the behind post, regathered the ball, and swung around on one step to kick a high goal over his shoulder.
He is the son of Robert Bosustow, who played with the Blues in the mid 1950s.
