4. Wayne Shelford (New Zealand)
No.8 Wayne “Buck” Shelford captained the All Blacks in the late 1980s and was part of the squad which took the 1987 World Cup.
“Buck was at his peak for the World Cup final in 1987. I remember watching him as a 16-year-old on the terraces at Leicester a year earlier and saw him charge down the flank, chip the ball over the wing and score a try. Not bad for a back row.”
