@mn5 he was too young at 40, ten years after his career ended?
Naa just wanted to find a reason that Mike hadn't mentioned.
Rocky Marciano retired at 49-0. One of the very few boxers who went out on top.

@mikethesnow I quite like Ochoa was 28 and had an 8 year career.

My old man's tennis partner Chris Laidlaw gave Rugby away at 26. Pretty young.
By tennis partner, do you mean saw him at breakfast once?
Nope. This is genuine family friendship, not one of @jegga s stories.
He was at my wedding. ( Chris Laidlaw, not jegga )
GFYS. Did Laidlaw flog any of your wedding gifts on the way out?

Someone will probably come up with better picks for 7, 10 (McAlister takes his rightful place at 12 then), and 11.

Nobodys mentioned Ron Cribb. I wonder why?
Career killed off by spiteful domehead on a journey wasn't one of canefan's criteria?
Running sideways and giving away lots of stupid penalties probably had more to do with it.

Duane Monkley, Mark Carter....
