The original fetcher! This legend was built for rugby and not the ELV’s. As a player he would simply not exist in todays game but he is one of the greatest Springboks ever produced. What does this say about the ELVs – go figure!

Chris Badenhorst. My hero since i was 6 years old. Up until recently held the record for the most CC tries. Played 2 trillion games for FS and only 1 for the Boks. In this game he scored 2 tries. A hard working small agile wing.

Give me the rum !!!

Went to WP – doos. Sorry, he is not a nominee at all. I will replace him with Joubert Strydom – who also played cricket for FS.

Wait – Joubert also went to WP. Doos !!!

Guess that leaves us with the Springbok Dentist – JOHAN STYGER !!!

With a name like that you deserve legend status or at least to have a mafia familiy member

Played flyhalf for Free State with his kid brother Sas at scrumhalf. He weighed 23kg… Chris Kasselman – The Captain Morgan Legend of Rugby. Nice ring to it…

Bryan Baenhoff – yes indeed – a legend throughout the FS. Has never had to buy a drink since that day, and never ever will….

Looked like a short Quinton Davids. Played for EP and entered pie eating contests with the late Frans Domkrag Erasmus

What about the naked dude that tackled FC Smit? Match winning tackle.

Piet Pretorius. He tackled the begeezus out of Lourens Prinsloo in the Lion Cup – which cost Free State the game. Dammit.

He was the butt of many jokes. Ha ha ha ha. I should work – but this is too much fun.

He kicked through in the famous FC Smit test after Hans Scriba dropped the ball like a toss. Cheetahs won.

A player with a dairy product for a name. Stuff of legends….

Braam also played lock for Free State and also took his fair share of line out ball. Played well with Oppies Opperman and played one test.

Ryno Opperman. He had a beard and played lock for Free State. He dominated line outs and didnt take kak from anyone

Probably the greatest half back ever. Even though he was a specialist scrumhalf he had the speed and ability to play any position if he’d wanted.

Andre Joubert- greatest fullback we’ve had.
