Tim Horan - The Linebreaker 

Meeting the ball at pace! Don’t see enough of that these days..

That Australian back line was better than the All Black's. Loved the smooth combination of Horan and Little.

What a great Rugby player he was. Looks like his solid grounding in Rugby League as a young kid paid off (along with Jason Little too).

The lateral quickness combined with hands made of glue! What an athlete!

Damn they used to crush in the later 90's. Well-oiled machine. Gregan & Eales's immortals.

Phew, this guy was good. My fave player of all time and I'm a Kiwi.

Met Tim in a bar one evening after a rugby league match in London (played union in the winter and league in the summer during my late 20’s). We had just went n an amateur title match and were all hammered from celebrating and happened to end up in the same place. Spent time playing racing games side by side on some PlayStations and then did the classic “do you mind taking a photo” and handed him the camera to take a photo with some of my teammates. He got the joke, took some cool pics and then we all got a few with him. Totally cool guy and an awesome player and an honour to have met him in person.

Tim Horan #12 All Times favorite.

Tim Horan made a hamburger for me at Sts Peter and Paul primary school fete, Bulimba, Australia.

Timmy also played one of the greatest individual games ever in that RWC semi in 99.

Amazing era of Wallabies rugby...Tim...one of my all time favorites....credit to Jason Little for his runs to set things up....plus Campo.....wow...was he a winger, full back, centre....

Tim Horan, super centre. I just can't understand why there is not many (if more than 2 brief) videos on RU-vid about his centre partner Jason Little. An equally skilful centre, but also an important cog in a potent Australia side at the time (90's).

one of the greatest of his time for sure! great stuff as always

Also an astute and skilful playmaker as well as an intelligent and tough defender. Probably my favourite player ever

Timmy was my heros at high school time, amazing linebreakers. I leant from his plays very much,

When aussie were the best in the world at rugby i miss these days , campesie was so fast one of the best wingers of all time

Wow, what a pass from Campo at around 6:10.

Little and Horan what a combo

The best second five ever i reckon

This vid should be called *Campese* the line breaker - Horan the *support player*

Best wallaby number 12 of all Time.

ABs hard but man, i miss seeing that slick Australian style. Just slick.

As a Kiwi he was definitely one best centres ever.

Him and little were the best centre pairing in the world during their time.

Holy sheeee that Aussie side in 99 was lethal!

Best 12 I've seen. My other personal favourites include Aaron Mauger, Gavin Henson and Tomas Casteignede.

Him and Mortlock are my two favourite players in history. I even sold Horan a newspaper once at Waratah Stadium in Concord.

Horan and Sella would be my perfect centre partnership. Both spent most of their careers at 12 which gave them the creative vision as the second play-maker and great distribution plus the footwork to run in traffic but both also had great pace. Horan was the better kicker so he'd be the 12 with Sella the better tackler at 13.

Thank you I have been looking for a tribute of him for so long

Narrowly edges out Bunce for my GOAT #12. Although neither had a weakness, Tim's offensive brilliance slightly outshines Frank's defensive brutality. Great vid!!

Great vid. Thanks for uploading.

Kinda lost touch with my rugby roots over the past few years great seeing these vids! suscribed

Great Player . legend!

Onya Tim…….thanks for everything…………

Horan's greatest run and general play was setting up Campese's 50th international try against Sth Africa in the mud 1994. Horan's blistering pace, chip n chase, commitment in the tackle, then awareness to get to his feet retrieve the ball and then unselfishly pass on to Campo, showed all of Horan's talent and team attitude. See it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wwpB1sqr13U.html at 8.55.

The legend 🤙

Class operator and tough as teak!

Still the best Centre to play the game

This was a Campese highlight reel.

7:39 damn Hedricks had some wheels reeling Horan in that quick

I think probably the greatest 12 to play the game. Did Gerber and Sella play 12 or 13? If Gerber played 12 arguably that knocks Horan down to number 2. Greatest modern 12 anyway!

Yes, he was a very classy player. Admire his talent but he also played the game as a gentleman. I saw John Eales a number of times, have you done a video of him yet? You know you have to call it "Nobody" right?

LOL THE CONDITIONS AT 3:36!!!

At this time the Australian team may well have been the best the world has ever seen - and I dont mean for the time in which they played - I mean of ALL time - just look at those names!

absolutely brilliant player, at 12,13 or 15

背番号12は誇りの証。

l'enchainement à 10:09 est incroyable

A feisty and tough nugget he was.

GOAT

How good was TH !

Awesome and had lethal pace. Brian odriscolls gotta be up there too

12 Tim Horan 13 Brian O`Driscoll Los mejores centros de todos los tiempos.

GOAT 12

Horan was incredible. His versatility was undervalued. Several times when Australia and Queensland were overstocked with centres but understocked elsewhere, he would move to fullback, wing or flyhalf without any bother. It's a pity you didn't have any footage of his Super 12 try at Ballymore when he caught a dropout 60m out and beat the entire opposition to score. Can't remember the year or opposition, sorry.

Love Tim Horan, but this was a Campo / Jason Little highlights reel until around the 8min mark!

Shame he had a terrible knee injury in 1994. The Horan from 1989 to 1994 was as good as Dannie Gerber. They are the two best centers of all time in my opinion.

Back when the team was Australian .

The Aussie version of Gerber, just imagine those 2 lining up together... wow! Any chance you could compile a vid of Bruce Robertson? The most gifted and IMO greatest center than NZ has ever produced.

Has Chelka ever watched this?

Horan, Gregan and Eales were the best in there positions McQueen was the best coach in my opinion

Greatest? I'm not sure. First class though, definitely. As always, great videos. Still waiting for a vid of Christian Stewart of Western Province, Canada and Springboks.

2:13 I don't think Little diving into the ruck to win the ball like that was permitted even in those days.

2:11 the TMO would have ruined that try these days 🤦‍♂️

Back when Australia could beat Wales!

Mal Maninga was the best center ever, Wally Lewis said one time the best player he has ever seen was Mark Ella,do you get my drift.

Is he the greatest centre of all time?

He's not a linebreaker. More of a speedster/finisher : very fast, great in support, runs great lines and chases balls.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-np5i82_1LYA.htmlm47s check this Tim and Danie Gerber against each other for the only once

Played in a great team. Not the greatest. Sella, Gerber, O Driscoll, Umaga all better.
