Agree. Fantastic article. Have been saying almost exactly the same things about him, in terms of the arguments he made, for years.

Hope Roo has a ripper on Saturday.

Good read and he's been one of the club's greatest, but not better than Plugger imo
I saw Plugger and Harvey in their primes and have loved every minute of Lenny’s career, but there has never been a better player to pull on the red, white and black.

Can't take any article seriously that has the above quote...

I think he is arguing no one is better - not necessarily he's the best. It's a good read regardless.

What a great article! I actually wrote my own tribute to the champ too, and was going to create a new post for it, but might as well just add it to this one. Feel free to have a read - similar to the one above. http://alanamichelle90.wordpress.com/20 ... 250-games/

Yeah good article.

That goal in the last in the 2009 Qualifying final. He kicked that right in front of where I was sitting. Was never going to miss.

He has been such a good player. Still is.
