Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2593852, member: 7803"] I have a lot of favourite Lockyer memories but i'll narrow it down to the top 5 5. The field goal in the 2006 decider after a barnstorming charge from Webcke that nailed the Storm and captured the premiership. Melbourne's tears were beautiful. 4. The cross kick to Denan Kemp who scored his 4th try of the game and won us the game on the last play. Gus's commentary has always stayed in my head. "Darren Lockyer you are a footballing genius" 3. Lifting the trophy with Shane Webcke after winning the 2006 grand final 2. The Kangaroo tour of 2003. Lockyer lead an injury raved Aussie team which had just lost 30-16 to New Zealand on the way to the UK into battle in a 3 test series with Great Britain. Australia won the series 3-0 but we had to come from behind to win each test and score a try or a goal in the dying minutes to win as well. Lockyer's guidance and leadership was exceptional throughout the series as he scored the winner in the 1st test and played an instrumental role in the miracle in the 3rd. @[URL="http://broncoshq.com/member.php?u=8341"]Aldo[/URL] ; Yes Luke Ricketson score the try that won the 3rd test. Just for some trivia here are some of the players who went on this tour and were never sighted again in the test arena. Phil Bailey, Shannon Hegarty, Richard Villasanti and Joel Clinton. 1. The tri-series final in 2004. We had just lost to the poms in the week before the final and Andy Farrell had been named the golden boot winner and Britain had finished on the top of the table and were quite confident and upbeat about defeating Australia. Lockyer and the Australian team played quite possible the greatest half of footy I've ever seen and destroyed the Poms completely and we went into halftime ahead 38-0 and ended up winning 44-4 and stunned a very pro-English crowd and media.
