They were both St Judes lads, I've not seen Mick for a while,but Geoff is looking very good he runs the Lions Den Gym at Bryn,still a very fit bloke, for a bit he was Coach at Judes, my other brother in law Peter Thomas is now Coach at Judes.

And easy, absloutely no comparison although Geoff Clarkson was a firm favourite of mine.
In the modern summer era, I was always a fan of young Greg Worthington at centre.

| Ah yes, Liam Kay, but he didn't let himself down he stood by his principles. I'll go for Liam Kay as my favourite Yorkie boy.

No actually he did. Even when Rowley was in charge, Kay's attitude was appalling at times and for which he had to apologise for more than once.

| Bob Beardmore was a great player and a gentleman
At the time he was at the top of his game and outplayed GB Scrum Half Dereyk Fox at Fev
Unfortunately injuries and a serious family illness cut short his stay and he drifted out of the game.
Top man Bobby B

| Well Jimmy Ledgard was an outstanding player and Goalkicker and a fine man too! He played for over ten years for Leigh and was a full International and GB vice Captain( he was a pretty good Joiner too)
I too liked Geoff Clarkson. There aren't too many good things to come out of Yorkshire however, these two defied that trend
The approach Road to Leigh East is also named after Ledgard and, considering its almost Sixty years since he finished playing for Leigh, that's some testament to Jimmys memory

Who is Liam's current coach?
You don't need to answer, I was just responding to your 'fact' about him letting himself down.
Carry on with the thread please.

| Last few years Kay was a firm favourite before letting himself down, Greg Worthington had a great finish to his spell and left with the full support of the fans/club.

In my opinion Greg Worthington is not SL class. We will see in a couple of seasons if Charlie is right.
