Peter Bosustow died on Monday morning in Perth after a long illness.

He was a two -time Carlton premiership player and WA Football Hall of Fame inducted in 2017 .

The Blues were among the first to release a statement shortly after his death on Monday .

His career lasted just 65 games with Carlton but he left a theatrical and everlasting imprint on the competition.

Fellow Western Australian , Ken Hunter , who played with Bosustow in the Blues’ back-to-back premierships of 1981 and 1982 , said Buzz relished the big stage. “He used to joke that I was the extrovert and him the introvert, when it was obviously the other way around,” he said. “He was a unique character and a rare football talent in equal measure.”.
