David Boon

Legendary sports person and beer drinker

David Boon is a legendary Australian Cricketer, but also a legend for his drinking exploits.

On a flight between London and Sydney for the 1989 Ashes series, Boonie, known as "the keg on legs", set the record for most beer consumed on the flight - 52 cans of full strength beer.

This record will, most likely, never be broken, as I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to serve you that many tinnies nowadays.
