i hope so black to stay he has to after his match winning game in the final.

Out of the Fab 3 ( Des Clarke, Gavin Clinch, Damien Gibson ) Gibbo became a Fax lad and has laid Roots.

Now out of ( Ben Black, Shad Royston, erm....I'll say Branno ) Blacky will be just the same i think.

Despite what people say and my opinion of our own town sometimes, There must be some kind of Lure.

( Easy Women and in Gibbo's case, " Dixie Chicken " )

Dave Larder is phenomenal. Despite the likes of Tommy Martyn, Neil Turley, etc. It was Dave who was my player of the year when we won the GF back in 2004. As for Adam Rudd, he has been alarmingly injury prone, whilst at Leigh. Let's hope he can put that behind him now.

Des still lives in fax and has well and truelly cemented himself here

Could be a perfect farewell speech? The way he played in that final, SL clubs must have been taking note. I hope to God they didn't though, we should be looking to build the team around Blacky.

if a SL team comes in for him same as they did for royston i think everyone would wish him luck, he deserves a chance.
