The former North Melbourne footballer was left with shrapnel wounds and burns to more than half his body when a suicide bomber detonated a backpack explosive inside Kuta nightspot Paddy's Bar on October 12, 2002.
He still bears the scars of that fateful night, but 20 years on, the love he feels for Bali remains undimmed.
