All Blacks Legend Frano Botica: Old School Tours, Buck Shelford & A WILD Moment In Argentina

Frano Botica is known as one of the greatest goal kickers of all time. He wore four black jerseys (All Blacks, Kiwis, Māori All Blacks, Sevens). He became a hero in Wigan as the fastest player to 1,000 points and helped launch the Warriors’ debut NRL season.Then when the cheering stopped, he had to reinvent himself.This podcast conversation is a small part of the Frano Botica story:+ What it was like spending most of his All-Black career in the shadow of Grant Fox.+ Some jaw-dropping stories about his teammates and friends Buck Shelford and Michael Jones.+ The time he feared for his life when a riot broke out in the stands in Argentina.+Then there is the off-field stuff- adjusting to life after professional sport and the mental grind of starting again, financial missteps, surviving a stroke, finding joy as a grandfather, reflections on life now and much more.Whether you were a fan of Frano who is curious to learn more about his life after league. Or you know nothing about him, I know you will love this chat.***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.
