The two old timers I really admired were the great South Melbourne players Bobby Skilton and Ron Clegg. Skilton was an amazing rover, tough and fearless with great skills. Ron Clegg was a magnificent centre half forward or centre half back. He played brilliantly in either position. How I wished we had them in our team. Just wondering who others may have admired in other teams.

George Best

Alex Jesaulenko. Could play on ball, half back flank or as a key forward and all equally well. 

Boomer Harvey.

Stephen Milne.

Chris and Brad Scott.

Beckenbauer.

Klinsmann

Matthaus

Ballack

Jono Brown - Self preservation did not exist in his world.

Robert Harvey - Seemed like he was around forever.

Dane Swan - Man runs like he is wearing gumboots, but boy he could play.

Johnny Platten - Never forget his tangle of untamed curly hair flapping in the wind as he flew through the center to deliver the ball with precision.

Just to name a few.

I was beginning to like you wiseblood - you have just stuffed that up.

Josh Bootsma.

jonathan Brown - fearless. Would have loved him at CHF for us, roaming around the forward line with Neiter.

Yeah agree with this one.

I thought Ablett snr was a little overrated, yeah he could dismantle teams but only when it was given to him, was the best at finding it himself.

Ablett senior, Craig Bradley and Peter Daicos.

I loved watching them play and especially loved watching them kick.

I've been asked if I'm related to Tom Selleck before but not Modra. Now that you mention it I can see the resemblance, he's quite handsome.

Was more thinking the Schwarzenegger/De Vito twins similarity.
