4. David Campese (Australia)
Australian rugby legend famed for his electrifying speed and unmatched creativity on the field. Campese’s illustrious career boasts numerous accolades, including Rugby World Cup triumphs and a reputation as one of the game’s most innovative players.
Guscott said: “You cannot say more about him than he’s already said about himself, but Campese is one of the most gifted players every to pull on a pair of rugby boots. For pure talent and instinct he is up there with Gareth Edwards and Jonah Lomu – that is how much impact he had on the game. Campo did not have exceptional pace, but his timing, running lines and skill, in terms of passing and kicking, were extraordinary.”
DID YOU KNOW? In Campo: Still Entertaining, Campese wrote that, “Looking back now, as a long retired Wallaby, it does not bother me in the slightest that I didn’t accept an offer to play rugby league.”
