It was a simple progression.
Percy Cerutty. Sand hills. Herb Elliott.
Any others?

  3. Ray Carroll Assumption Kilmore coach,or Vinoo Mankad who despite a reasonable test career,will forever be remembered for the most distasteful of dismissals.

  4. Where does Ray ‘Slug” Jordan fit into this equarion. His long career as Victorian keeper seems peripheral to his less public/visible role in producing many top line footballers.

  5. until his late life reincarnation with Reckless, it had always been…

    Tommy Woodcock = young, devoted strapper. Phar Lap.

  6. Angelo Dundee = Clay / Ali
