Mark Ella

Aboriginal Australian fly-half who captained the Wallabies during an extraordinary unbeaten Grand Slam tour of 1984, widely regarded as one of the most gifted and naturally talented players the game has ever seen.

Mark Ella was Australia's gifted fly-half of the early 1980s, a player of extraordinary natural talent who scored a try in each of the four Tests on Australia's 1984 Grand Slam tour of the British Isles — an unprecedented achievement. His flat-line running game and exceptional distribution challenged conventional thinking about how fly-halves should play. He retired at 25, having barely scratched the surface of what he might have achieved.
