Can't give you a best 22 but would have liked to have seen these guys play:

John Coleman, Bob Pratt, Laurie Nash, Jack (Captain Blood) Dyer, Dick Reynolds, Basher Williams, Gentleman Jim Cleary, Lou Richards, Charlie Sutton, Whitten, Barrassi and Skilton (in their younger years). I caught the tail end of their great careers.

Yes. I am an old codger, I know!!

Was fortunate enough to have seen them all play, live & in the flesh, other than Coleman.

I can see why you have selected all those fellas too.
