5. Joel Stransky, South Africa and Leicester
Fly-half Joel Stransky is best remembered for scoring the winning drop goal in the 1995 World Cup final against New Zealand. He made 22 appearances for the Springboks. In 1997 Stransky joined Leicester and was their leading scorer for two consecutive seasons, helping the Tigers win the first of four Premiership titles in 1999 before retiring as a player and becoming a coach at the club.
Roche: "Stransky was a fabulous fly-half and I'm still not sure Leicester have ever replaced him. -

Stransky wins huge Bristol payout 11/12/02
No decision on Shoguns' appeal yet
...
Springbok World Cup winner Joel Stransky has been awarded US$237,000 damages after sueing Zurich Premiership side Bristol Shoguns, the High Court in London finding them guilty of breaching a contract with the former Leicester, Natal and Western Province fly-half.
The court ruled in Stransky's favour after the 35-year-old had taken legal action against the Shoguns, who he insisted had gone back on a deal to hire him as a coach back in 2000.
As well as the damages, Bristol will also have to pay costs, reported to be in excess of $300,000, although the West Country club have 28 days to appeal the ruling.
Stransky, now a Supersport TV pundit in his homeland, had said that then Bristol coach Bob Dwyer had offered him a job on the club staff while at a restaurant in the area, although no written contract was signed.
...
Stransky was with fellow Premiership club Liecester Tigers at the time, and had started arranging his move south when he was told that he would not actually be required for the position.
Bristol hierarchy denied that the 23-cap veteran was ever offered the post, but failing a successful appeal from the Shoguns, Stransky, who is currently in his homeland, can look forward to a hefty payout.
Stransky first rose to prominence as a promising fly-half in Pretoria, before starring in the 1990 Natal team that clinched the Currie Cup for the first time in their history.
In all he played 78 games for Natal between 1988 and 1993, scoring 903 points before moving to Cape Town, where he settled comfortably in the Western Province side. He won national colours on tour to Australia in 1993, scoring a memorable intercept try against the world champion Wallabies on his debut in the 19-12 win in Sydney.
However, he will forever be best remembered for his extra-time drop-goal for the Springboks against the All Blacks in the 1995 World Cup Final at Ellis Park, Johannesburg, which delivered the dream of winning the Webb Ellis trophy on home soil.
He then joined Leicester in 1996 and played three seasons for the club, scoring over 200 Premiership points before a serious knee injury brought about a premature end to his career in England. -
