Peter Bosustow, also known as 'The Buzz', passes away at the age of 67 after battling cancer, leaving behind a legacy as a beloved Carlton premiership playetr and WAFL legend.

"Peter was an exceptional talent. I've coached some outstandingly talented players, but on his day Peter could do things on a footy field few could emulate," former Carlton coach David Parkin said.

"Peter had remarkable capacities in the air and on the ground, and was probably as exciting a player to watch as we ever had."
