As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

To be fair - the honours system isn't the best indicator of an individual's reverential worthLORD Archer
LORD Taylor of Warwick
SIR Jimmy Savile
Stuart Hall OBE
I suspect that list could quite easily be expanded on - but you get my drift!!
AJM was, without doubt, one of the all time greats on the field - and his success as a coach/manager for this club is well documented - but the fact also remains that he dropped this club like a stone - TWICE - to further his ambitions.

Fair point - although, on the first two occasions he walked out on:
a) The Challenge Cup holders
b) The League Champions
In '85 he left a newly promoted club to return to Saints..... his hometown team, and first love - so I suppose we can forgive him that one!!  | | | |

| Quote: charlie caroli "Does anyone remember Dave Smith ?A forward we signed from Huddersfield along with Andy Pucill ,we played a game at Rochdale and with a few minutes to go we were losing by 9 points , we were pressing of the Rochdale line , Dave got the ball and attempted a Drop Goal ![]()
Ha ha, I remember that well. Dave Smith played for Thatto Heath as an amateur and we had some right ding dong battles playing against each other. that was a really poor Leigh team !
My favourite team was in the 80's.
Loved Woody and Dessie, but my favourite back was John Henderson. He was a fantastic and quick Centre.
My favourite forward was Jeff Clarke.
The most gifted forward of that era to grace HP in the late 80's was Ian Schubert. He was coming to an end but a fantastic playing ball handling back rower. A joy to watch !
