Yep, I was at that too Greg.

An interesting era was that with Halifax and Featherstone having outstanding teams. Miners strike effect ?

The team you should have played should have been wearing cherry and white though.

We was robbed in the semi v Saints. What a day that would have been with 2 unfancied teams getting to Wembley !

Steve worked for the sponsers- WINDOWCRAFT and we had free tickets and went Central park, Barry Ledger saved a try came over from opposite wing and tackled Henderson?, think it was Henderson he tackled.

It was Linda.

John Henderson was a fantastic player and was one of my icons as a kid and fellow centre myself.

Ledger came from nowhere but Henderson had support left and right. That would have made it 14-14 with 15 mins to go.

Leigh were superb that day. I cried on the 593 bus back home because we should have beaten saints !! AND got to Wembley !!

And cant forget the year before when Fax were winning the league with a Draw at home against Fev which ironically enough was enough to save them from the drop and enough to pip Wigan for the title.

All those old enough to have seen us crowned the best team in the country should count their lucky stars.

Yours, all those aged under 30.

I do but can I have some of my years back cos life`s wasted on the young........

My dad said all the lads were out from 9am, it was a great day and one he'll never forget

Bet he won't forget today in a hurry Ste.

On this day in 1921 Leigh won the Challenge Cup for the first time beating their opponents Halifax 13-0. The Final was played at The Cliff, Broughton.

I missed that one.

No, he was on his stag do in Llandudno.

My relation played in that one in 1921 Ellis Clarkson i think he was my late nans uncle.
