New Zealand rugby league legend whose spectacular play, iconic golden point field goal in the 2005 NRL Grand Final and extraordinary skill level established him as the most naturally gifted player of his era.

Benji Marshall is New Zealand's most celebrated rugby league player and a figure of almost mythical status in the game, a halfback whose extraordinary footwork, creativity, and audacious play produced some of league's greatest individual moments. His famous 'one in a million' try in the 2005 NRL grand final — beating three defenders with impossible footwork — remains the most replayed highlight in the sport's history.
