Tom Craig is celebrating a "new chapter", proving to be the Kookaburras' hockey hero again some 10 months since being thrown out of the Olympics after being arrested on suspicion of trying to buy cocaine during the Paris Games.
A humbled Craig said it meant everything to him to score the winner for the Australian men's side in their remarkable 3-2 comeback victory against India in the Belgian city of Antwerp on Saturday.
The striker's player-of-the-match show was the highlight of a double Australian success in the FIH Hockey Pro League, with the Hockeyroos defeating India's women's team by the same scoreline 90 minutes later 400km away in London.
