A rugby league star from the 1990s has made headlines after footage resurfaced of him declaring he wanted to 'f*** all the sheilas' on the Gold Coast.

New Zealand prop Brent Todd made the inappropriate comment during a press conference in 1992 after signing with the Gold Coast Seagulls.

Todd was asked why he left the successful Canberra Raiders to join a team that ended at the bottom of the ladder after the 1991 season.

'Because the sheilas are good looking and I want to f*** them all,' Todd said deadpan before the reporters burst into laughter.

New Zealand prop Brent Todd has made headlines after his comments from a 1992 press conference resurfaced online

The video started doing the rounds online when another former player and Queensland great Martin Lang posted it to Twitter.

'For anyone disillusioned with the behaviour of the modern day NRL player....I suggest you watch this,' he wrote, sharing the archived footage.

The post drew in another former NRL great in Kevin Campion, a former teammate of Todd, who jumped to his defence.

'Harsh mate. Let’s not open up a can of worms here. Toddy a champion guy and that was 28 years ago. I’m sure he never slept with any of his good mates (sic) missus,' he wrote.

Ashort time later Campion followed up his post with a clarification.

'Hey mate just to clarify my message wasn’t in any way directed at you. You’re one of the all time good guys.'

Todd, a former New Zealand international, went on to play two seasons with the Seagulls before retiring at the end of the 1993 season.
