I have supported Leigh since the mid 60s, and have seen some great players. Here is a fantastic team that could beat allcomers at their peak They are all players I have seen play for Leigh apart from Trevor Allan from the 50's, who I know older fans will remember as a great player. Here is the team:-1.Neil Turley, 2.Des Drummond, 3.Tevor Allen, 4.Steve Halliwell, 5.Joe Walsh,6.John Woods, 7.Alex Murphy (capt.coach), 8.Alf Wilkinson, 9. Ray Tabern, 10.Stan Owen, 11.Tommy Martyn, 12.Mick Martyn, 13.Jeff Clarke. Obviously my top 3 is Woods, Murphy, Mick Martyn, which nobody could argue with. But I was a bit short of ideas for centres and loose forward-does anyone have any candidates for these positions, who I have forgot about?

In my time....
LF.. John westhead, Harry Pinner, Adam bristow, jake emmitt,

Centre... Robert moimoi, James leuluei (sp?), Ian Jeffries, John Henderson,

LF. Ian Potter.
Centre. John Henderson.

Centre-Gordon Lewis
Loose Forward-Denis Boyd

Rangi Chase has to be among them somewhere

Not yet,but he's back in training so who knows..

Donlan,

Terry Bilsbury!

I would have Chris Hill in the forwards & Mikey Higham deserves his place *both spells at Leigh*

Des Drummond will always be my all time favourite Leigh player shortly followed by Neil Turley & I am hoping Ben Reynolds will go on to top the lot.

E for B and David Eck.
Is better if you were there.

Loose forward and Ste!!!..And Ben won't be there come the 8's..

Steve Halliwell would be nowhere near the team.

He just pried on having tries given to him on a Platter in a division for which Leigh was so dominant.

I Loved John Henderson as a kid, but the best Centre for me would have to be Steve Donlan. He just oozed class.

Since my time watching Leigh (since 80), here would be my starting 13.

1 - Turley
2 - Drummond
3 - Henderson
4 - Donlan
5 - Kay
6 - Woods
7 - Brierley
8 - Hill
9 - Higham
10 - Pyke
11 - Martyn SNR
12 - Clarke
13 - Bristow

14 - Schubert (didnt play much but oozed class)
15 - Cottrell
16 - Rowley
17 - Mike Davis (absolutely fantastic SH)

Looking at that, what pace from 1-7 !!

Donlan! Pace?
