Thanks for all the kind words, but no one is irreplaceable and I do feel I have found very able replacements in our 4 UCLAN students Chris Stott, Keiran Makin, Robert Lee and Drew Darbyshire give them a bit of time to get 'up to speed' the job isnt that hard just time consuming and a bit daunting until they get into the swing of it. I'm looking forward to actually watching a game instead of through a camcorder screen, I have had 15 great seasons but have been trying to retire for the last 12 months, a bout of ill health recently finally made up my mind and I apologise to the club, it's fans and coaching staff for the suddenness of my departure but personal reasons and illness have taken it's toll these last few weeks (nothing at all to do with Leigh Centurions I may add) and I of course wish you all well.

I know that you have ever only done your fine work for the love of our club but if anyone deserves a lifetime membership for their endeavours you are a top candidate Fred.

Thanks Fred for all the hard work, enjoy you're retirement mate.

Fred you can’t retire you’ve still got the ‘crowd cam’ to sort out.

Only joking, the club and us fans especially those who live far away have been blessed to have you offering your services without reward all these years.

Thank you, best wishes and good luck in your retirement.

Fred filmed tonights reserve game v Keighley Cougars.

Watch it on Centurion TV can't remember who won but there were a lot of tries bout 18 I think.
