I've played in Croydon for many years n competed against all these players at there peak in many many ko comps and time and time again the same player come out top with the cash in his pocket or the Trophy so my order is
1) Tony Jackson ,not a flashy player but has all the shots n more n most importantly thrived on pressure n the best pool brain...(in my eye's by far the best as trophies n cash comps prove)
2) Rod ,quality disher ,decent all round game,n like myself tough competitor n very very hard to beat when on song.
I believe there is a gap down to the other players and not much between them but i would maybe in this order put
3)Mev ,great potter who's tactical brain has improved over time.
4)Eddie ,another quality disher.
5)Metin ,superb attacking player but maybe tactical play can let him down a tad.
other great players like goldsmith ,jumps,shaggy,halligan could easily be put into the 3rd 4th or 5th spot n there's no doubt i've forgot a few...
On there day every player is almost unbeatable so i kind of look at who consistently brings a high standard to the table n are hard to beat n when its crunch time can step up when others may falter ,the strongest mind n will to win quiet often prevails in many sports...obviously i stopped playing n practising as such 5 years or so even tho i still win stuff i'm only top 20 at best these days n Rod as gone downhill aswel n the league as shrunk so Mev has little competition these days n will no doubt eventually win more trophies n carry on dominating this era.. :angel:
