This is a really sad day.
Arthur Thomas was a gentleman in every sense of the word. I met Arthur a number of times and without his generous support and backing I very much doubt we would have a club.
My thoughts and condolences go out to his family with the sad loss of such a wonderful man.
May you rest in peace Arthur you will be sadley missed by so many.

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can.

I have never met Mr Thomas, but I do believe that without him we would probably no longer have the team I grew up with and that my Dad still loves to watch. My deepest thoughts go to all his family and close friends.
Thank you Mr Thomas

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

Bolton by birth,
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 |

A Leyther and a gentleman, who's contribution to the club was immeasurable.
Condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest In Peace.
It would be nice to think the public of Leigh might turn out in force tomorrow as a mark of respect to a man who's contribution to the cause ensures we still have a club to support!!
