I hope that you can read this okay lads and lasses. What is amazing about this list is the absence Ted Tyson. He kicked over a thousand goals for god's sake. Also, of interest, is the presence of Steve Marsh in the list despite him having only played a few seasons to that stage. Just goes to show how good he must have been.


" Top-ranked
Points were allotted to each name—seven for the first, six for second, down to one for seventh. The top-ranked player was the one who secured the most points and the quest winner the person whose list of seven gained the most points out of a possible 28. Results:

You need to put some context to this, AR.

Where do the points come from - do you have a link?
