Slater? You actually serious? I can probably name a few in the last lets just say 30 years...For the record Lockyer would be a BETTER selection as Lewis will get the 5/8. That said even Lockyer wouldn't beat a few of the greats.

 

[Jason Maher]

Yes, I'm serious you nuffy. Lewis was past it when I started watching league. I never saw the best of him. And you can't be serious on Lockyer.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

This whole exercise is being ruined because I did not specify the time period in the title. Instead I specified only the "best you have ever seen" which entails different time periods for different age cohorts making the judgment. It screws up the whole comparison exercise.
