norbold Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, we've got a New Zealand Hall of Fame but not a top five.Now then, who is going to dispute the top three? 1. Ivan Mauger 2. Barry Briggs 3. Ronnie Moore 4. Bob Andrews (Does he count???) 5. Ron Johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Geoff Mardon possibly instead of Bob Andrews.Barry Butterworth must also be considered i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve roberts Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) 1. Ivan Mauger 2. Barry Briggs 3. Ronnie Moore 4. Geoff Mardon ...now it gets more difficult. 5. Larry Ross or Mitch Shirra (athough born Aussie) or Bob Andrews (although born British)...not sure who I would pick as number five on the list!
