Paul Green was laid to rest at a moving service in Brisbane as the NRL legend’s wife Amanda and Johnathan Thurston led a chorus of tributes.
In Amanda’s touching tribute at the invite-only service that was live streamed for the public to pay their respects, the widow revealed how the pair met in 1998.
“Paul and I met at the Mad Cow in Townsville, an establishment of many relationships,” Amanda quipped.
“The day Paul proposed he said to me ‘you better strap yourself in because it’s going to be one hell of a ride’, and that it was.
“We had the deepest love and he made me feel deeply loved … we’ve always been a team.
“As heartbroken as I am today, I’ve loved every moment with Paul. I loved you yesterday, I love you today and I will love you tomorrow.”
