Phil 'Gus' Gould
After carving out a solid playing career with Penrith, Newtown, Canterbury and Souths, Phil Gould quickly established himself as one of rugby league's finest coaches.
His achievement of taking the Bulldogs to a first grade premiership at the age of 30 remains an all-time record. Gus took Penrith to its first title in 1991, while he turned the Roosters from cellar-dwellers into contenders.
However it's State Of Origin where Gould really excelled.
Gus coached the Blues from 1992-96 and again in 2002-04, winning an incredible six series. No other New South Wales coach has won more than one series.
Gould is now rugby league's the pre-eminent expert commentator.
