  Correct me if I am wrong, the first player in history to win the Golden Boot award in two different positions. Champion.

  think he only won it at 5/8 maybe wrong but i think you'l find andrew johns brad fittler and others won it while he was at fullback

  Andrew Johns collected the award in 1999 and again in 2001, becoming the first player to win it twice. Darren Lockyer has since repeated that feat, winning in 2003 and 2006 becoming the only player to win twice while playing in different positions.

  Lockyer moved to 5/8 in 2004, so he did win the golden boot in 2 different positions

  I followed the Great Darren Lockyer from his debut to retirement. I am a big fan from PNG and have always loved watching him play. He surely is the greatest footballer of the modern era and no doubt, no one will ever break the records he set for a very long time. GO LOCKY

  Darren lockyer was able to play different positions during his career unlike Andrew johns . Darren was the player who played as a member of a team and not for self glory. I believe he should be a immortal and not Andrew johns .

  Darren Lockyer was a more complete player than Andrew Johns. Again nsw cannot handle the fact that qld has produced the games greatest ever players. Lockyer will be an immortal with Thurston smith and slater to come. Lockyer is at the top of the tree. True champion on and off the field.

  The NSW journalists who dominated the voting made sure Andrew Johns was made an Immortal ahead of Mal Meninga. Lockyer should have been next after him. A great travesty.

  When Lockyer was at his best on game day, he was better than any other player. IMO a players true greatness is attested by how his opposition treat him. When Lockyer played, he was respected by his opposition so much because of his agile football brain. His contemporaries would attest that he was the benchmark to which they would measure their own ability. So established was the notion of his exceptional ability that he was never relegated from the positions he was selected for in rep footy. He was always an automatic selection for Queensland and Australia. He could read a situation and instantly come up with a creative play to put his team on the front foot. When the Bronx were on the front foot, Locky was a master of keeping them there. He could pull his team s fat out of the fire so consistently when the games were close. Stats alone wont be able to show his level headed brilliance. I could go on reminiscing about this legend. Simply the GOAT for mine.

  Timing, patience, awareness, resilience, loyalty and longevity like very few others..
  People will debate whether he was better rgan Johns or Billy, but he is undeniably one of the greatest to ever lace up a boot. His numbers support that narrative..
  4 premierships.
  3 dozen origins.
  Kangaroos captain as good as first choice for over a decade in multiple postions.
  Legend.
