| Well circumstances Matt but I still think with an experienced coach we should have been Grand Final winners you know when.
Course loose cannons cost us but it,s history we are where we are.

'Hi-Ho Silver Lining'
Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif |

| 1st - Alex Murphy
2nd - Ian Millward
3rd - Steve Simms
4th - Paul Terzis
5th - Darren Abram
1-4 self explanatory/ explained by others, 5th as the guy actuallly won quite a few bits in our promotion season.
I also liked Kev Ashcroft when he was in charge.
Best supporting role, Norman Turley.

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

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.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| AJM, no contest. Best Leigh coach ever. One of two Cup wins, one of two league titles, two Lanacashire cups, record season in Div 2.

Murphy never did the season in Div 2, he may have started it but then left us for St Helens!

Would have to check but I think you're wrong on that, Ste... if he did go it was right at the end of the season... seem to remember AJM was Lancashire coach that winter, too... we travelled to watch the Roses game at Watersheddings but it was called off as the pitch was frozen.
I do remember him signing Steve 'Hollywood' Halliwell for Saints in the close season, and Tony Cottrell flattening the bugger in the first minute of the first league match, as he'd broken the backline's agreement to share the cash for finishing top try scorer. I also remember him ending up on 49 tries, despite going under the sticks when the ref blew up with the ball still in play in the final minut eof the last league game (think it was against Donny, but again would have to check).

Id agree with most of the above mate just seem to think Alex left early doors that season and Tommy Dickens led the record breaking team to promotion!!
Over to the Parkies for confirmation, come on lads??

| Must be Murphy as he won things
As for Halliwell I thought it was John Westhead who actually flattened him whilst most eyes were on Tony

| I was at the game and can honestly say that John Westhead got to him first although Tony seemed to take the credit.
Top coaches
1. AJM
2. Millward
3. Simms
4. Terzis - although I didnt think so at the time
5. Benson - liked the way we played under Benson - Best game we played for years away to Widnes in NRC (if it was called that at the time) under Benson - Gave the so called superstars a good tonking that day

| I think Murph left at the start of the season around October, Tommy Dickens took over and the rest is history.
It was Tony who 'caught' Halliwell as it was Phil Johnson who kicked off to him on Tonys 'orders' (not being a know-it-all before some miserable git points his slimey finger the story was told to me by Johhno himself)
