Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Lee Smith who won MoM as a last minute full back in a GF, and played a major role in both other GFs he played in (in different positions) would be behind Carl Gibson or Dave Heron? Heron maybe, but not Gibson for me. As someone who started watching in 1981 I'm well aware of how good and how ordinary both Heron and Gibbo could be.
Dave Creaser the other good payer from that era, but injuries stopped his career really kicking on, another player better that Lee smith, this is not a dig at smith, fine player but but a good player playing in a great team around greater players.
i'd still have Gibbo as he held several club records consecutive appearances consecutive trys and was a regular Gb international in very competitive GB sides.
i'm sticking with Heron also. and Roy Powell without any doubt.
on a side note if we picked the worse players ever to play for us, most would come from mid to late 80's.
