Henderson was fast !

No need to bite Harold as we all have our opinions.

At the age of 44, I cannot comment on Murphy, Allen and Lewis so it would be wrong for me to do so, but having met Gordon, he his a lovely man with HUGE Hands !!

I get where you are coming from i regards to Bristow, but he was a super player hence the reason he was targetted. I could quite easily blame Sid Baldwin for that defeat to Dewsbury for that stupid kick through but I wont. Its History and even the best have their off days. Quite a few did in that Dewsbury GF final but we will never forget the occasion.

Before we end this little trip down Memory Lane I thought of all the Leigh born RL players who never wore a Leigh shirt! The great Oldham team of the 1950s was full of Leigh born lads such as; Bernard Ganley, Alan Davis, Frank Pitchford who were all GB Tourist's Frank Stirrup was Oldham Capt and had a ten year career with them he did however play a short while for us before going to Oldham!

These are some of the players I can recall but, i'm a few positions short, perhaps someone can fill them in?
