Somewhat of an enigma throughout his career former All Black star playmaker Carlos Spencer was one of the most skilful players to ever grace the game.
As a wild maverick who was both carefree and brilliant, Spencer would attempt plays few other players would even attempt let alone pull off.
Never has his ability been more on show that his Auckland Blues crunch showdown with heated rivals the Crusaders.
Holding a two-point advantage, Spencer got the ball behind his line. From here the unthinkable happened as the Blues went the length of the pitch to score one of the greatest tries in the sports history.
As if to add insult to injury, Spencer would go on to kick a touchline conversion to deny the Crusaders a losing bonus point.
Cool, calm, calculated there is only one Carlos Spencer.
