Watching these Bevan French tries tonight with his sublime footwork has got me thinking about some of the greatest side steppers we've ever had.
So, who's your top three?
Mine from memory:
John Ferguson
Jason Robinson
Bevan French
Notable mentions Amos Roberts, Sam Tomkins and Dean Bell.

They would be my 3
I would describe them also having the best and quickest footwork
1st game French played a good friend of mine text me and said "Who does he mend you of"?
I replied "Chicka", and that's who he meant.

French is the best I've seen having watched Wigan since 01. It's like playing a game on 'easy' mode watching him go round Super League players.

I’d have Henry Paul in there somewhere, Jason Robinson is the best I’ve ever seen though.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row
Probably the best I've seen was Chris Hesketh. I know, "Bloody old bugger"
He could step of either foot, and Wigan let him go to Salford!!!

Henry Paul was the first who came to my mind. His step was hard to read and he also confused defenders when he’d throw that full spin in. I loved watching him play, even the warm ups with him and Inga throwing 30 yard one handed Passes to each other were great.
