1. Wombat Eadie (though Ridge gets honourable mention)
2. Ken Irvine - Best winger ever in League History
3. Bobby Fulton - Immortal
4. Ray Branighan - Great utility centre
5. Mick O'Connor - Can't be left out.
6. Cliffy Lyons - just ahead of Ian Martin
7. Geoff Toovey - just ahead of Des who was inspirational
13. John O'Neill - the hard man who was pillar of first two premierships
12. Max 'Bombthrower' Krilich - ahead of Fred Jones
11. Ian Roberts - more mobile than Kevin Ward
10. Steve Menzies - Manly legend and greatest ever tryscoring forward.
9. Terry Randall - Best defender and toughest forward I can remember (His son didn't study his tapes!)
8. Mal Reilly - Genuis, tough and creative, changed the way the game was played.
(Numbers done the old way as that is how I remember those Manly greats. Only Beaver has the wrong number to the one he played in!!)
Bench
14. Noel Crusher Cleal
15. Kevin Ward
16. Ian Martin
17. Nik Kosef
Hard to leave Danny Gartner and Fatty Vautin out of the squad but they just don't quite make it! BK needs to play in a Grand Final side or a contender to make the grade but he would have to be close as well. Ridge, Russell Gartner, Tom Mooney, Dale Shearer, Des Hasler, John McDonald and Craig Innes were hard to leave out as well.
Trivia: Only one of my mentioned squad never played in a premiership winning team. Who???
