Johnny Raper's "sauna"

Johnny Raper could drink as well as he played and it generally effected his wife. Many nights began at The Carlton Hotel....

"A famous piece of rugby league folklore involves Raper's car. After a heavy night out, rather than walking inside to face his wife, he would sleep in the back seat of his car. As the morning sun hit the vehicle, it would heat up like a greenhouse, which Raper jokingly claimed helped him "sweat out the hangover" like a makeshift sauna before starting his day" - Google AI
