I kid.

Wynton has always been about himself.
who?
Xenu.
And his mum and dad also did a lap of RoF on their motorsickles at one match last season.
Have to disagree re all the talented players coming through. You see egg ball is in our DNA y'know. It's true - mate of mine at the pub told me so. And Mayor Lols and the great sage Eric Young.

Well that's settled then.The undisputed truth,no question.
i apologies for my past discrepancies
i do still play rugby tho, just play football aswell
And I heard somewhere recently that the German coach of the day said that if Rufer had been German he'd have been in their team. Just to add to that, I was talking to an older German guy I know the other day and once he got onto talking about Wynton Rufer you couldn't shut him up about how much they rated him.
If he can use his background and passion to create more for football with the likes of Sam Morgan etc then all power to him

This thread may need to be moved elsewhere?

Yeh I have a Swiss friend who doesn't really follow football (i.e. not even in Germany) and she knew a fair bit about him...so made a big impression there...
That is quite funny.

Wynton is now masterminding the future of football at the International Football Advisory Board deciding the "Laws of the Game" (along with Aussie-born NZ resident Mark Hester, OFC Head of Refereeing):
http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticl..
The two panels set up to advise The International Football Association Board (IFAB) on potential changes to the Laws of the Game have met in London this week.
The Football Advisory Panel and the Technical Advisory Panel, with representatives from Oceania sitting on both, met at the Sofitel Hotel London Heathrow for meetings on Monday and Tuesday to discuss a variety of topics, including proposals to amend Law 3 to allow a fourth substitution and the potential use of video replays to support match official
These items, as well as other matters such as handling the ball, the use of “sin bins”, the interpretation of the offside law and the use of electronic performance and tracking systems had been referred to the panels following the recent annual general meeting (AGM) of The IFAB in Northern Ireland on 28 February 2015.
Opinions varied within the panels as well as between the panels. For instance, the Football Advisory Panel looked at matters more from the players’ and teams’ perspectives while the Technical Advisory Panel assessed the technical details and possible issues in terms of the impact that the implementation of any changes would have for the referees.
The objective of the panels is to support The IFAB with greater expertise before decisions on the Laws of the Game are passed. Having already met for the first time in Belfast in November 2014, the panels consist of stakeholders from across the world of football, including former players, coaches and referees, as well as confederation, association and league representatives and FIFPro (see full list below).
This week’s panel meetings were chaired by the Chief Executive of the FA of Wales, Jonathan Ford, since The IFAB’s next AGM will be held in Cardiff, Wales, on 4-6 March 2016. The AGM takes place in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in strict rotation, as well as locations decided by FIFA in years when the FIFA World Cup™ is held.
The panels will meet again in October before their feedback is presented to The IFAB later this year during their annual business meeting – a working meeting during which topics are discussed and can be put forward to the AGM. Amendments to the Laws of the Game can only be made during the AGM, with the decisions of the board binding on confederations and member associations.

Lord help us
I appreciate that Wynton is not the brightest person and he is into God but we should regardless be proud to honour him as our greatest ever player.
Colin Meads is seen by many as Rugby's equivalent and he also is not the most knowledgeable but Rugby people honour him as a true legend..
