I will add one tiny caveat to that. It would have been better if he had announced his decision sooner.
I don't have any of them in my top 100, but I also don't know enough about them to say that they couldn't have been.
Absolutely nobody except Muldoon, would have questioned his greatness at the time. I know exactly what Muldoon was doing, because I have done if...
