Crocodiles moved in before he was pulled out of the water by Merv Hughes
Thwarting of the best death of a sportsman in history?

Or was that Chuck Norris.

I suppose the bit about about the crocs was "thrown in" to "beef up" a story about an old man falling in water.

Disgraceful you say flip flops instead of thongs Sven.
 

That would have been a rougher foot spa than he was used to.

Hughes and Botham on the same boat.

Hope it was reinforced.

Imagine how much beer was consumed? Was Dave Boon there, too?!

More than one crocodile
Understand he was wearing flip flops & got tangled in some roping transferring to another boat & went in head first bashing his side on the side of the boat
Obviously not as light on his feet as the elegant Merv these days

Beefy didn't fall in the water, he jumped in to beat the crocodile up.

Well played Merv Hughes.
