Was there a exceptional physical freak on the teams you played on that just seemed to. Have unbelievable Physical gifts? .
Are their any opponents that would also come to mind? .
Russ Francis was the first-ever All world player according to Mr H.Cossell: ) , could you nominate two or three?

MONTE JACKSON WAS A PHYSICAL FREAK, HE COULD BENCH PRESS A MILLION POUNDS AND WAS FAST, HE AND ROD PERRY WERE OUR FASTEST DEKES. ANOTHER WAS KENT HILL, HE WAS 6-5 MAYBE 260. FAST AS THE WIND. HE LOOKED LIKE A STATUE IN HIS BUILD, COULD BENCH CLOSE TO 500 AND RAN MAYBE A 4.7.

NOLAN CROMWELL WAS THE BEST OVERALL ATHLETE. HE WAS FLUID, QUICK, STRONG AND TREMENDOUS HAND-EYE COORDINATION. I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE COULD HAVE BEEN AN OLYMPIC DECATHLETE. HE ALMOST MADE THE 1976 OLYMPIC TEAM IN THE 400 HURDLES, I THINK. HE WAS 4TH AND WAS AN ALTERNATE. BUT HE DIDN'T GET TO TRAIN LIKE THE OTHERS, HE WAS A FOOTBALL PLAYER FIRST, TRACK ATHLETE NEXT.

RON BROWN WAS WORLD CLASS SPEED GUY AND MUCH STRONGER THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

RAYFIELD WRIGHT WAS THE BEST ATHLETE I FACED YEAR-IN AND YEAR OUT. GREAT FEET, QUICKNESS AND NATURALLY STRONG.
