Johnathan Thurston has broken down as he voiced his sadness and anger over the death of his fellow footy legend Paul Green, who took his own life last Wednesday aged just 49.
The former North Queensland Cowboys superstar broke his silence over the passing of his great mate after the news left him so devastated he was unable to fulfill his commentary duties for Channel Nine last Thursday night.
