Just for the record. Tommy Sale who has been watching Leigh since 1928 and probably knows more about the club than anyone alive compiled his own Leigh dream team five years ago for rucby league world. It was as follows:
Ledgard
Drummond
Lewis
Allan
Walsh
Woods
Murphy
Chisnall
Ashcroft
Owen
Pawsey
M Martyn
Foster
Subs
Eckersley
T Martyn Snr
Kitchen
Smethurst
He also gave an honourable mention to: Darwell, Kindon, Robinson,Donlan and Turley amongst a few others. Interestingly the name Tim Street does not appear which underlines the fact that while he remains a massive cult hero at Leigh his playing skills don't quite merit a place in the dream team. Particularly as he is up aginst props with international honours!
Quote: mr. chairman "that pack would destroy the aussies and any of our super league clubs , stan and is wife used to frequent the woolpack when i was a young lad , he frightened me to death then'"
Last time i saw him he was still a big fellow a nice guy though.
Quote: mishmash "He did ask if he could pick himself in every position but I put my foot down!
I dont think the loose forward was Trevor Foster it was Peter Foster surely tragically killed in a car crash
