This dude played for NSW and the Roosters, two teams I can't stand. He is however a legend and I'm glad he was the captain of Australia. Not a grub, never had an off-field incident. Just a tough and consistent second-rower.
great lad that Boyd I hate roosters and qld as well but I can't hate any player in that Australian jersey mate. I'm glad we finally have some decent international competition like Tonga
@@garybaltiejus7248 you're hilarious so if there is a forward pass in a game is it the teams fault or the referees for not making the right call on the play? Further more when a call doesn't go your way like a penalty isn't your team's responsibility to defend? Come on mate you're better than this
Damn man, that’s probably one of the best interviews I’ve seen Matty do! Very emotional you can tell he’s happy with his choice, but he still didn’t want to go. A true warrior of the NRL respect cordner! I hope your future is as bright as your spirit!
As a Queenslander .....I have always honoured the magnificence that embodies Boyd Cordner....great bloke, remarkable toughness , never a grub always a great leader....good things ahead for you mate ...because that's just who you are...good luck..
Really raw and emotional interview. Great to see a strong leader speak so freely about what he has been through and where he is now. I am a Roosters tragic and was devastated when he retired but totally understand the decision he had to make for his own health. Fantastic interview Matty and really appreciate the way you didn't cut in with more questions as Boyd was answering, you just let him speak.
This bloke is a true champion a term used to frequently and loosely today great footballer great and humble human being congratulations on a wonderful career. Be gentle on yourself you've nothing more to prove all the best to you and loved ones with your future
Boyd is a champion absolute legend n I also cried when he retired also through this even now I have watched this twice Well done to all your achievements fantastic career also I'm not even a roosters fan but always followed Boyd
Onya Boyd! 3/3 premierships for the mighty Chooks, you just couldn't ask for a better club stalwart. So many great memories of Boyd, perhaps my favourite was being in the crowd during Drongos v Roosters at Brisbane in 2014, where he dove over the line to score the match winner with about 2 mins on the clock. Legend indeed
I don't think I've ever heard a bad word said about this guy, and watching this video it's not hard to see why. QLDers (I'm one) always spoke well of Boyd too, and they had a tremendous amount of respect for him as both player, person and captain. Hope his health is doing well, and in truth he made the right decision. It doesn't matter his career was cut short somewhat, he has one that most players dream of. Congratulations mate.
I'll always be so thankful for what he did for the Roosters, NSW & Kangaroos. Truly a leader on and off the field. The team misses him big time, but I'm so glad he's healthy & happy. Great interview!
Even not a chooks or NSW fan but love this dude , he was one of the nicest guy on n off the field, probably one of my favourite players outside my club n state .
Being a Roosters supporter and knowing when he was on the field especially with Friend and Aubbuson we were in safe hands, he would always roll up his sleeves and give 110%, absolute legend and will go down as one of the greatest Roosters to put on the Red White & Blue
What an interview...Matty's funny side was a huge part of my attraction to the NRL...But this side of the game and Matty's compassion and understanding is what really draws me... most pro player's in whatever sport are extremely overpaid.....not these NRL boys....very much underpaid considering the risks 🇮🇪🇦🇺
Gutsy call Boyd.... but when the full time whistle blows, its game over..... your life is far more important than a game. From Taree juniors to Australian CAPTAIN...... gutsy career, gutsy call, displays yet again how intelligently tough we all witnessed you to be. Long life Cordo.......
As a Oosters fan I sad to see him retire but am also happy he made the right decision for the right reasons. Hopefully his example helps other players do the right thing and put their health forward. In this era of players chasing the biggest pay check, it's so refreshing to see someone so passionate about his club.

Yep shame concussions ended his career
@@Ticklemehomo9 Yep seeing him and Friend retire at the top of the game was sad to see.
great lad that Boyd I hate roosters and qld as well but I can't hate any player in that Australian jersey mate. I'm glad we finally have some decent international competition like Tonga
As a loyal raiders fan I respect Boyd corners a achievements but I despise the roosters for ruining the 2019 nrl grand final

Seems like a genuine guy and even though he was a Chook, he bled for NSW and for that I thank him, cheers mate! 👍
Absolute legend. A credit to the game. Always played tough and with passion.
Seems like such a lovely bloke. Hope he is doing ok and keeping busy, and I certainly hope he is no longer suffering the concussion symptoms.

Can't remember a player achieving so much in a career cut so short, a true champion of our game. Beaut interview Matty.

Possibly the best first-hit-up-out-of-his-own-10m-line exponent I've ever seen. An outstanding player & a fantastic career. All the best Boyd 😊
A true gentlemen & Roosters legend. Won it all and always had our hearts.

Boyd is an absolute LEGEND!
One of the best second rowers in the NRL. Great bloke off field too..
Our (QLD) dynasty ending to his sides softened the blow massively for me. What a genuinely great person. I doubt anyone has said a bad word about him.

You just can't hate him. Tough as anything and still one of the most consistent back rowers I've ever seen

One of the games true champions. He will never be forgotten.
One of the few roosters players I respect
Fantastic interview. I have a new respect for both these blokes
Matty Johns a true hero
He should be involved with fox league, he'd be fantastic on the couch
He’s full time with the roosters coaching staff so good for him tho

Matty is the best footy interviewer ever
Watching this thinking about Boyd in the Australian side and it makes me sad, all the best to Boyd and his Family.
Great interview and a good insight into Boyds life. Good luck with your future.
Gutsy call Boyd.... but when the full time whistle blows, its game over..... your life is far more important than a game. From Taree juniors to Australian CAPTAIN...... gutsy career, gutsy call, displays yet again how intelligently tough we all witnessed you to be. Long life Cordo.......
Well done Boyd. Your no less of man for making a hard call to retire early . Thanks for the memories Boyd. True champion 🏆
Was a terrific player. One player I never met , and I'm a Roosters fan. But seems such a great guy.
Great interview.
Really glad they kept putting the name headings as I kept forgetting who they were....
Thanks boyd
He looks healthy. I hope he’s living his best life.
Each and Every Footy Player must learn from this...You must learn when to go before it's too late...
11:36 what a forward pass.
As a Oosters fan I sad to see him retire but am also happy he made the right decision for the right reasons. Hopefully his example helps other players do the right thing and put their health forward.

Top bloke all the best for the future
Great interview - two great blokes.
Amazing Ozzie to watch from NZ - they just kept coming and he was definitely one that was at the top!! Faith in our Kiwis regardless!
He reminded me of that great Kiwi that also captained the chooks, Hugh McGaghan.
Onya Captain Bumchin.
Says captain 4 EYES 👀🖕🏾
Says four eyes rabbit teeth
@@Jp-do9ny GET MAD BRO!
Rooster legend, thanks Boyd
Thank you Sir
what a stella bloke! great interview too
Legend.
Good interview. Top bloke Boyd
Imagine Boyd made a comeback to the nrl
Great job Captain!:-)
That’s really sad, I never knew that they lost their mother at such a young age.. 😔
So glad Boyd stopped when he did, brain injury is greatly misunderstood. Thanks for this interview, yes truly a champion bloke...
All the best mate. As a Storm supporter you were one player I did not like mainly because you’re the total package as a player.
gee he looks good
I thought Boyd was in his 30s 5 years ago. Can’t believe he’s 28.
Boyd let that bearded grow. It would be amazing
Matty … drink your bloody beer son
TBH he does not look right to me. They probably need to keep a close eye on him.
Career cut too short
Who are these Yobbo’s
Werid comment. Have you ever watched the NRL ?
He's finished
