    Barry John was the George Best of rugby union. Both legends in their sports.

      George Best shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

    I saw him in his Absolute prime. Untouchable, mind boggling elusiveness. He made All black flankers looked ponderous with his amazing balance wil of the wisp dummies and body swerves. That lions backline was essentially Welsh if we're honest and adding the genius of the mercurial mike Gibson and David Duckhams brilliant, dashing running and you can't exaggerate how good they were. For me personally and yes it was the amateur era, but the finest back division to ever take the rugby field. It was a magical time for lovers of flair players.

    What i noticed is his positional play to see things very early , even thought i have never seen him play Live on tv he is like arms length up with Edwards breaking the line , his support play is exceptional . and running exceptionally brilliant.

    Before masculinity and tattoos there was Barry John,hard to say he is not the greatest.

    I notice that the voiceover bloke didn't try to attempt the pronunciation of Barry's Welsh hometown. Probably would have butchered it.

    Note when he ran with the ball, it was carried in both hands. It is too bad that at the test level the players are just massive. Subtly has gone.

    Only One King and he hung on a cross for the worlds sins Jesus Christ call upon him to often we mock him and curse him but he cares for us and Jesus knows what’s going on your life confess and forsake your sins whatever it is fornication anger unforgivness Jesus took your sins on that day 2000 years ago your sins and my sins put him to the Cross for whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God Jesus is waiting for you to call upon him Hallelujah

      Even God would have screamed "Heavens above!" when Barry ran the ball.
