Rugby league legend Martin Offiah has picked out his greatest team-mates of all-time: with a surprise pick from his latter days at Wigan Warriors included.<\/p>\n
Offiah was appearing on the Stick to Rugby podcast to help promote this year\u2019s Ashes between England and Australia, with Wakefield Trinity forward Mike McMeeken also a guest.<\/p>\n
And Offiah, a star of the international game with Great Britain throughout his career, was asked to pick out his greatest team-mates and the most memorable players he lined up alongside.<\/p>\n
And perhaps unsurprisingly, cross-code superstar Jonathan Davies was high up on his list from his time at Widnes Vikings.<\/p>\n
Offiah said: \u201cIt\u2019s tough. Obviously I want to say Jiffy, he\u2019s one of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the modern era, because he was such a big star in rugby union.. I didn\u2019t know what paparazzi was until Jiffy signed for Widnes, and he came on as a sub against Salford. I scored five tries that day, he touched the ball twice and he got all the headlines!<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s when I knew what star quality was. I couldn\u2019t even believe that Widnes had signed Jonathan Davies, I\u2019d seen the things he\u2019d done as a British Lion playing in the Five Nations back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cI even remember the try he scored against Scotland, the stuff he did playing for Widnes when he got to grips with the game was absolutely phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Offiah did not stop there. It is also no great shock that Offiah name-checked the great Ellery Hanley as another team-mate from his playing days he rated highly \u2013 but it was more surprising that former Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls star Henry Paul was on his list, too.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI\u2019d have to say Jonathan Davies, and then I\u2019d probably say Ellery Hanley. Henry Paul was one of the greatest (too).\u201d<\/p>\n
