Chariots — the fastest winger in rugby league history and the sport's most electric finisher.
Martin Nwosu Offiah was born in Hackney, London in 1966 to Nigerian parents. He scored 501 career tries in rugby league — the most by any British player. His combination of pace (electronically measured sprint times comparable to professional track sprinters) with strength and awareness made him the most lethal finisher in rugby league history. He won multiple titles with Wigan and later Bradford. His nickname Chariots — from Chariots of Fire — reflected his exceptional pace. He was a model and television personality as well as a rugby star — one of the sport's most recognisable figures in the 1990s.
