Great King Rat - I was on one of those fans on the coaches too.
I was too young for 71, but that Hull KR game was one of the most memorable games for me in over 35 years of watching Leigh, along with Lancashire Cup Final & Whitehaven of course (when we clinched the league).
Craven park was packed to the rafters, crazy Hull KR fans just went mental at the end when woody kicked that goal. leigh fans running for their lives & fighting their way back to the coaches, coach drivers holding doors shut so KR fans couldn't get on. Bricks all over the place. Police escort all the way out of Hull. There were 52 coaches that day from Leigh all parked up in that park (can you believe it!!).
Fantastic memories - singing the Wemberleigh song all the way home.
We lost two weeks later to Mal Reillys Cas in the quarter finals (Doh!)
