[quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif |

I have this one. Andy Collier wore it in the last game of the season vs. Widnes (and scored the winning try in the last minute, I think?). |

My Grandma used to wash and repair / sew the shirts for Leigh back in the 60's and 70's.
In my cupboard I have an original Leigh Coat of Arms which was sewn onto the shirts.
My Dad said it was an extra one from the '71 final shirts but he might have just been building my hopes up when he gave it to me about 30-odd years ago.

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 |

Yeah, that's my oldest as well - along with the blue away shirt......my mate's late Mum was a supervisor at Ellgren, and the two shirts were sold as 'seconds', but were actually 'mint'!!
I think the ex may have screwed up washing them at some point, 'cos they must have shrunk!! 
The oldest shirt still wearable in my collection is the '99 vintage (I think!) Bulldog home shirt sponsored by Blakleys. |

Nicked from the ever reliable 'Old Rugby Shirts' website. I was only born in 1986 so fair to say I don't remember that shirt!

We used that same design for 2 seasons. In 1987 Halbro supplied it but in 1988 Umbro were the manufacturer. Umbro's replica shirts also had their logo and the town crest sewn in. I used to have one back in the day.

I think the first GM Buses one was 88-89? The sponsor was massive and took up the entire front of the shirt.
The season after it was smaller, always picture Chris Johnson and Ian Jeffries in those tops! |
