Barry John - perhaps the best I ever saw. Certainly as a runner, especially given the coditions of the time - a horrible rugby ball and on nasty pitches.
Of course, he wasn't up against the players with today's physiques and fitness levels.
Plus the game was different then - all out attack!
Phil Bennet, Dan Carter - and yes, Jonny Wilkinson for tackling and kicking, were exceptionally gifted players.
Barry John does get my vote because whenever he got hold of the ball, quite simply, I expected something exciting from him and often got it.
However, I played at full back and JPR was my inspiration - far more than the curmudgeonly Bob Hiller (with whom I played when I was young and he was way past his prime).
Nice one, John. Thanks for the posting.
