Steve Menzies relives his Manly career, the origin of his nickname and the 2008 GF | The Fan 

One of the greatest to ever play rugby league

As hard as they come. The Beaver was an absolute animal on the field!! The only reason I ever wore a headgear in some games was because of Menzies

One of the true greats, and a gentleman. Not many like him these days.

I think Menzies is one of the most under appreciated players ever. Menzies was the gun. Of course his last game for Manly was a winning premiership and of course he scores a try.

This guy is the true golden boy of Rugby League. Just such a gentleman, down to earth and the last of the true blue "Have a go" types.

180 tries as a forward is mind-bending. Legend.

And as good as he was on the field, he's a class act off the field. The only time Beaver made headlines was for his try scoring and general play for Manly, NSW and Australia. No scandals, no trouble with the law, nothing. The man is just a class act. They talk about rugby league role models ... stuff sCam Smith, the NRL should be pushing players like Steve Menzies.

respect Beaver from the UK rugby league fans

Was never a big fan of manly but Menzies was a special player. Could always depend on him on the field.

One of my fav players to watch growing up as a kid in the 90s.

Walk on off the bench to score with your first touch in the 40-0 flooring of storm in the gf . Made me cheer for manly that game . Thanks beaver

Evertime he scored at brookie....... "BBBEEEEEEAAAAAV VEEEERRRR" ah the memories

ayyyyyoooooo

My favourite player...😊😊😊😊

A true Legend and and an exceptional role model for our game..

Where's his head gear, couldn't recognise him. One of the best ever throughout his whole career.

Highly underrated, Very much appreciated by all.

One of the only Forwards I've seen running to back up the back line when they made a break!!

My favourite ever player.

Absolute legend

Legend player......legend bloke.

True manly legend

Beaver Menzies is one of the greatest players, week in, week out, I have ever seen. Met him once after a Roosters match, and he was a gentleman and a great ambassador. Not only for rugby league and manly , but for sport in general. They loved him over here ( UK ) and there is no reason not to. Amazing ability, but a lot of people don't seem to recognise actually how hard he was in defence. A true giant of the game. I'm a Roosters fan, but Beaver makes my top 10 players ever. Wish he was coming to play for my new team in the Midlands Premier League in 2021.... keep an eye out for the Staffies Rugby League in Stoke -on- Trent.

Beaver was a great player around the best players...great player loved see him play...

After watching the Matty John's show for so long, seeing Beaver without his head gear and actually having an intelligent conversation and saying more than "Ayo" scares me slightly

Love you Steve

Favorite player growing up. Made eels fan also. Loved the way he played.

The best second rower of all time. I don’t care what you people say.

Can we all agree we hate manly, but love Menzies?

Great guy, very down to earth. Awesome player. Good on yah Menzie.👍

Up the mighty Seaeagles #GoManly

0:32, the player 2nd from right back row - looks like Steve! I thought that was going to be his grandfather.

Lyons & Menzies is a bit like Caught Marsh bowled Lillee.

One of the great role models of Rugby League a true gentleman 👏

One of the best.

He got his nickname from some bloke in Tanzania

will he ever be considered as an immortal ? i hope so

there for his last game at Hull. one of the greats

Never liked Manly but Menzies was special. Imagine if he had stayed with Manly 5 years more after 2008. He would have clocked 20 years (1993-2013) with the same club and would’ve probably ended his career winning that years GF. You’re a legend mate👏

Champion of champions!! ..

Legend 💪

Menzie Magic

Legend.

I think almost everyone I know was in the north-western corner of the ground, when Steve scored in the 2008 GF - or that's what they all tell me ...

Worst part of an away day at Brookvale - Grant Goldman with the "Beaver!" every time Menzies broke the line (which against that mid-2000s Souths side was all too often)

12:01 ... check out who throws the final pass to Beaver. As a Manly fan, I'm extremely conflicted about that!

Even though I am a Bulldogs supporter, not matter how much their performance pisses me off. I always had a soft spot for Menzies and a lot of others. But nothing was as cool as the old style head gear and the fact this bloke could play in the backs as well as the forwards. Truly a forgotten legend of the game.

That manly team from 94,95,96 and 97 where amazing teams. I think only one premiership during that time is an unfair reflection of how good they were especially when you think they had to compete against the raiders and Broncos who were juggernauts at the time.

LEGEND THAT'S ALL

My best forward of all time his style was the best that head gear he wore though

How anyone could not like 'The Beaver' is beyond all logic...Like his namesake 'Robert' He to would convince a Sao Biscuit it was actually a lamington cake. Just a great player.

If I picked a all time team I would pick it on defence and Beaver would be my first pick.

He is so funny

i f@$ken love the Beaver!!

How did matt offord not play origin !

As a Knights fanatic my dislike of Manly is immense, however I would pay money everyday to watch the great Beaver Menzies play, just bloody tough and talented.

The greatest NRL career of all time ? world cup wins, origin wins, scoring a try in his last game for Manly 40-0 GF, hard to argue otherwise. #beaver #uptheeagles

Blokes like the Beaver and Jake T make it hard to hate Manly with the proper amount of fervour.

Andrew Voss is the True Champion

All round good bastard!!

Amazing player. Such speed and balence, but could smash an opponent with a classic tackle too.

Ayyy oooo

🥊 WBC Steve THE BEEVEER FEEVER MENZIES

FRASH MANNN!

I fall into the group of people that hate manly but didn’t mind menzies
