Disagree Mark, wasn't the 93/94 kit the Ellgren kit sponsored also by Lifting Gear Hire?

Top one is 93/94, we were still made by Ellgren in 92/93



Interested in the bottom one though as I've got a framed team photo in the same kit with a "Challenge Cup Winners" caption so obviously post 71, though the photo was taken at HP so not neccesarily the change strip explanation

See my post above - Ellgren was 92/93; Mark's Asda sponsorship explanation makes sense to me for 94/95, with the Stag/Asda RL centenary shirt for the 95/96 season.

Thanks all



I've got the same team photo Matt and I have some newspaper cuttings of the same - I'll just have to go through them all. I'm sure this strip was used in the run up to the cup - I'll have a look in my books tomorrow!

He`d have been around 17 ....the same as Rowley and Martin.....

Hi,
Ellgren made Leigh's kit for the 1992/93 season which was sponsored by Lifting Gear Hire. This was the season Steve Simms took over as coach and John Pendlebury was captain.
Interestingly the kit had black shorts, a short-lived trend as it turned out.
The away one that year was the same design but in blue.
Best wishes,

Hi Keith,
Just had a scan through Mike Latham's book, Leigh Rugby League Club - A comprehensive Record and there's a photo of Leigh playing Swinton in 1972-73 wearing the white shirt with a vee in a home game against Swinton.
So the feeling that it was Leigh's 'alternative' kit looks to be right.
Best wishes,
Mark

A bit O/T but as I was looking through my pics I just came across this - what would you give for a crowd like this?

Would they still open the west stand though?????

Someone [imust[/i be stood on a yellow line, surely?

Is that some stewards at the top kicking people out for wearing caps? The thugs!!!!!
