Pretty much agree with this line up. Would have to add Chris Hill also.

Though he only played for one season and a bit, Eddie Hunter was one of the clubs most inspirational signings, and ALWAYS stood out!!!

From Leigh Centurions Communications Team
The club is considering a marketing exercise involving 'Legends of Leigh RLFC'. I know we have touched on this theme on a number of occasions on this website, but have never actually collated the data. The club would be grateful for nominations from the fans, on who they consider to be their heroes/most revered players, over the generations.
Please feel free to nominate your personal heroes, on this thread, and I'll gladly pass the names to the club. We are looking for about 25 nominated players.
Thanks,
Alan.
Alan,
If I understand this correctly the BOM is looking for a list of Legends covering the club's entire history. If that's the case my nomination (in no particular order) are:
1. Walt Mooney
2. Jimmy Ledgard
3. Mick Martyn
4. Trevor Allan
5 Stan Owen
6 Bill Robinson
7 Alex Murphy
8 Pete Smethurst
9 Bev Risman
10 John Woods
11 Des Drummond
12 Joe Walsh
13 Gordon Lewis
14 Mick Collins
15 Charlie Pawsey
16 Alf Wilkinson
17 Walt Tabern
18 Dave Eckersley
19 Tim Street
20 Neil Turley

[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 list that few would argue with.

Tom Coop should be on there as, I believe, he was the club's captain in 1895

That's the thing - the list has to provide that link all the way back to 1895 (and before!!) - Walt played for the club between the Wars - what about the heroes of the 1905/06 Championship winning side? or those who were at the club when war broke out?.....and what about Albert Worrall - surely anyone who plays over 500 games for the club deserves a place on the list??
And how could any list of Leigh legends be complete without Sir Tommy?? |
