Quote ="The Phantom Horseman"John Newlove was a terrific and under-rated player - a very different type of player to Paul, but you couldn't really say he had the tremendous talent of his son. So the only other players he could have unseated were Gilbert and Steadman, both of whom were devastating on their day. Unfortunately you can only pick 13, and the presence of Steve Nash meant the great Deryck Fox was never going to get a look-in either.'"
TBH I'd probably put John Newlove at 6 before Steadman - the former being considerably more reliable and consistent and the latter a bit more a 'flash in the pan' player who could produce wonderful bits of individuality but they didn't happen every week.
Deryck Fox would probably make a great hooker in today's version of the game, whereas KB would be much more use if the hooker had to win the ball at the scrums.
