Bonecrusher Song

In October 1986, Bonecrusher's achievements on the track became the inspiration for a song released by fellow Ellerslie locals, Wayne Cann, Gordon Evans and John Scull. Titled "Tribute to a Champion", the song promoted Bonecrusher as a New Zealand Sports Ambassador, and featured lyrics which stated that he could be "the greatest since Phar Lap" and named him as the "pride of Ellerslie". While not available in stores, fans were asked to send orders through the “Bonecrusher Song Child Cancer Appeal”, which donated $1 from each sale to the child cancer foundation.
