Georgia Haas was a skater? I didn't know that, which league did she skate in? She was a beast in the Rollergames days....

It's my understanding she had to stop skating as she was a police officer and they didn't want cops doing things like skating roller derby or wrestling (presumably for fear of being injured). She became a coach/manager. Don Lastra became a referee (he was also a cop). I know a police officer from modern legit derby who had to become a referee for the same reason.

Being a newbie here, I had to sit back and really think about this one....gotta have a nice mix of jammers and blockers....having said that...my womens field would be...

Sandy Dunn, Joan Weston, Judi McGuire, Delores Tucker, Gwen Miller, Rosetta Saunders and Francine Cochu, it was tough though because Carolyn Moreland was one of my all time faves but had to be realistic.

My men's field...even harder to pick....

Bill Groll, Mike Gammon, Tony Roman, Larry Lewis, Frank Apodaca, James Paul, Pete Boyd round out my
seven...

So many that would get left out but whatcha gonna do....lots of honorable mentions....BJ Peterson, Bob Hein, Ronnie Robinson, Cal Stephans....Jan Vallow too but there has to be someone on the RED side...*grin*

Okay, I respect everyone's right to their opinion, but in my opinion, many of the best skaters were the pure Roller Derby athletes, not the skaters who were showy or loud-mouthed (although there were some players who were could be both, LOL!). So, in my opinion, here are the best of the best of all-time:

Women: Judi McGuire, Gerry Murray, Delores Tucker, Joan Weston, and Ann Calvello.

Men: Mike Gammon, Charlie O'Connell, Gene Gammon, Richard Brown, and Ronnie Robinson.

Alternates: Bill Groll, Larry Lewis/Tony Roman(tie), Sandy Dunn, Carol "Peanuts" Meyer
