I was on that train too, come to think of it, all the town were on it
Lingard's halfback partner that day was Don Fox who was, destined to become a Wembley legend for his missed conversion under the sticks against, Leeds!

My most treasured possession is a picture of my Mum who was a nurse in 1971 (and has recently retired), pictured holding the Challenge cup when it was brought to Leigh Infirmary to show the patients. Good luck Leigh for tonight cant wait.

You are correct although, I didn't look!!

I remember going from Atherton station with over 100 skinheads from Leigh and district what a day I had the trip down the match and going around London with the lads after the match what a film it would make..Did,nt get back to Atherton until 8 am after the train got stopped several times after the emergency cord kept being pulled and the cops getting on with the dogs , someone locked me in the secure area cage in the parcel van the cops where going mad because they could,nt find the key to let me out , My mate Don Rowley I think it was who threw the key out of the window when I fell asleep in the cage but he always says it was,nt him must have been Peety then or Kev Carter lol
