I have been watching a bit of video of Manly from the late 80's and early 90's.
As Jamie Lyon has already hit "Legend" status for Manly, does it diminish the on-field performances of O'Connor? O'Connor had been feted as one of our best, a class act and at a time when the centres played on the open side of the field, regardless if it was left or right hand side, which means once the halves let the ball go, it was up to the centres . I am sure I recall that he was referred to as the "prince of centres" and was a motivational captain.
How do some of the older supporters compare these two players?
