Description

New Zealanders have long believed Kiwis rugby league captain Benji Marshall to be the best player in the world. That view was confirmed early in 2011, when he was named winner of the prestigious 2010 Golden Boot – the international prize for the best player in the game. He is the first Wests Tigers player to win this award and only the third New Zealander. This international recognition was not surprising especially given the virtuoso performance he put on in the final of the Four Nations tournament last year when New Zealand sneaked past Australia. Marshall has also been both inspirational and instrumental in many of New Zealand's victories in recent times, including the World Cup win over Australia in 2008. Despite being only 26, he has crammed an awful lot into a career which first gained national prominence on both sides of the Tasman.

Author Bio
As a report for Rugby League Week and then the Sydney Morning Herald, Glenn Jackson has covered 13 NRL grand finals. One of his highlights was the 2005 decider, which saw Benji Marshall and his Wests Tigers side come of age against North Queensland. After seven years with RLW, covering the 2000 rugby league World Cup in England, he joined the Herald in 2006. Through his time there he has covered Marshall's World Cup win in 2008 and the Four Nations triumph of 2010, as well as the bumps in his career in between.
