In the modern era I think Brian Little could be the benchmark. Won trophies as a player, another as manager and contributed to the re-build after relegation at board level.
1. Winning things.2. Not buggering off.3. Exceptional ability.4. Loving our club.
How many of 81 and 82 team would count? Mortimer and Cowans are shoo ins I would suggest but how many others? In my era, late 80s onwards we've got McGrath and then I think Taylor must be the closest. Don't think you can count Barry.
