Correct me if I'm wrong, KC never won an individual award in any of the finals he played in, does that make him an average player in a great team? Individual awards mean naff all in the great scheme of things, ask Robbie Paul after the 1996 final if he'd swap his Lance Todd for a winners medal. I suspect he would.
To suggest that Edwards shouldn't be one of the front runners in this is compete nonsense in my view.
If I was compiling a list of nominees I would say Edwards, Offiah, Murphy and Hanley.

All good shouts - but are they synonymous with Wembley in the same way that Bobby Moore is?
I'd say Offiah, out of that lot, comes closest for the 'best try ever scored' there.
Don Fox is absolutely synonymous with Wembley, but I don't think celebrating a 'loser' (in the nicest sense) is what this should be about.
Looking at GB, rather than club, rugby are there any other worthy shouts?
