I just tried searching for him on You Tube and although there's no footage of him playing, there is a documentary that he partly presents. It's regards to his Croatian roots in New Zealand.

Ahh the days of scoring a try in the corner, then chanting 6-0 before the kick was taken.....................

As much I like Pat he wasn't a patch on Botica. Nobody was.

...Then again, it would have been intresting to see Jim Sullivan have a pop with fancy Mizuno boots, a Puma manufactured ball and sand/kicking tee.

After seeing Pat miss a couple of kicks on Saturday, I mentioned to my son that Botica, even though a round the corner style kicker like Richards, kept the ball in a straight line so it didn't matter which touchline he kicked from.
My dad told me that it was claimed that Jim Sullivan could hit the upright with 2 out of 3 kicks close to the posts. The press came down to witness this ability ande he hit it with all three!
