It's a 16-man team that totals 3107 first-grade games, 118 State of Origin starts and 138 international caps. Not a bad recruitment campaign for a bush footy club that claims it has struggled to attract players.
Rain and hail may have wiped out the bulk of Young's most famous fruit last season, but the Young Cherrypickers rugby league club has put together a bumper crop of former footy stars for a fundraising exhibition match this month.
While the league season kicked off with the NRL All Stars match on the Gold Coast last weekend, a team of NRL Old Stars has volunteered to give country footy in the Canberra Raiders' recruitment region a giant kick-start in 2012.
Wendell Sailor, Ricky Stuart, Brad Clyde, Rod Wishart, Paul McGregor, Shaun Timmins, Jason Croker, Bryan Fletcher and David Peachey are among those who will dust off their boots on February25.
Such is the talent in the line-up, that former Australian and Canberra Raiders fullback Brett Mullins could only make the team as waterboy.
''But that was his choice,'' laughs Young vice-president Steve Woolford.
''He reckons he couldn't handle it.''
Woolford, you might guess, is the older brother of former Raiders captain Simon Woolford.
Steve, now 45, used to be a hooker too, but these days he packs further back in the scrum.
''I play second row or lock ... I can't get my arms over the other blokes' shoulders anymore,'' he says.
Simon Woolford will play as well, and thanked the former NRL poster boys for donating their time. He has just one request.
''To make sure there's a paramedic,'' Woolford quipped. ''To be honest, a lot of them just love coming back, getting with a bunch of blokes, having a game of footy and beer after it.''
To realise what this kind of event means for bush footy and the town of Young, the Cherrypickers' major sponsor the Empire Hotel will kick in eight grand a season.
Combined with the exhibition game and a post-match sportsmans dinner - which is already sold out - the whole day could net Young as much as $30,000.
''It's one of those opportunities that only comes along once every 20years, so yeah, we're jumping at the bit, we can't wait,'' Steve Woolford said.
''We haven't got leagues clubs or anything like that, to be competitive now you've got to pay for some out-of-town players.
''As good as our locals are, if you haven't got those one or two quality players you get left behind and that's what's happened to us for the last couple of years, we haven't made the semis for four or five years.''
Young was a great breeding ground for the Canberra Raiders, especially during the '90s, with the likes of Woolford, Mullins, Luke Davico and Brett Hetherington.
The NRL Old Stars will take on the Young Cherrypickers in the match, maybe even providing a bit of inspiration for a team comprising some chippys, shearers, concreters and mechanics.
''We had that good era but this is how big a drought we've had - Simon [Woolford] was our last to play in the NRL ... that's a long time since someone cracked the big time.''
