This. And it doesn't factor in others like Patrick Patterson or Kenny Benjamin who weren't necessarily that good (still reasonable - Benjamin took 400 at 23 in FC crickey) but were borderline psychotic and compensated for their lesser skill by bouncing the s**t out of everyone.
Benjamin's wiki page talks about how he coached England rugby player Will Greenwood in high school. Apparently if you mucked about, he'd bowl bouncers at you off the short run!
