Ken Irvine Tribute 

As a Brit the first test I ever saw on the TV was the Swinton massacre in 1963. Ken Irvine's the greatest winger I've ever seen. Anyone who's a lover of the game should watch the GB tourists in 1966 and the game against NSW on the Sydney Cricket Ground. In a very close game, Irvine stood out, ending with 3 tries, one of which is the best winger's try I've ever seen. Left us far too soon.

looked pretty darn good - and his stats don't lie either.

Irvine and Ron Coote are genuine Immortals, about time they get th Award from those officiating.

Probably close to being an immortal.

Champion

He reminds me of the All Black Christian Cullen, similar characteristics, could sprint of a standing start, and leave everyone for dead, could step of either foot, found himself in the most uncanny places to receive the ball, and set up other players. Brilliant to watch. Ken was a once in a generation player.

You can see how much faster he was in some of this video

So many great great man

Shame this clip doesn't have Norths footage, therefore it's not really a tribute considering the amount of tries he scored for them.

Nobody will ever beat his try scoring record.

Wingers these days approach his amount of tries but those who do are in a teams with many incredible players like Cameron Smith. Irvine became the best try scorer ever playing for the fricking North Sydney Bears for the majority of his career.
