Leyther and Loyal:1972.jpg |
|
| I've seen this thread running on a couple of other boards and thought it would be a good thing to run on here.
As we are nearing the end of the first decade in the 21st Century I was thinking of the players that had played for Leigh in each position and came up with the following list (some players are listed in more than one position). The only stipulation I set myself was that the player must have played at least 15 first team games for Leigh.
Here's what I came up with.

Stuart Donlan
Neil Turley
John Wilshere
Scott Grix
Miles Greenwood
Chris Giles
Ian Mort

Not spoilt for choice in the centres but some tough decisions in the front and back row. If I had a bench it would be Dave Whittle, Paul Rowley, Chris Hill and Stuart Donlan.

Tough choices in there, unlucky to miss out are Hill, Bradbury, Swann, Hadcroft, Anderson and I always enjoyed watching Anthony Murray play for Leigh as a young lad but I couldn't leave Rowley out.

Irish by blood,
LEYTHER by heart and soul!!
[quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3]
[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
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 |

| I didnt include Mick Nanyn in the list as he's not yet played 15 games for us.
Perhaps he'll make it into the next team of the decade.....
Oh an aside if I was picking supstitutes they would be:
Willie Swann, James Taylor, Tim Street, Dave Whittle

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| I dont like picking any teams , but what I do find interesting is Phil Kendrick's inclusion in so many teams , In my opinion Turks made a big mistake dropping Phil for the 2000 GF to bring back Sid , Phil was playing exceptionally well in the play off games and should have played in the final
