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 !!

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 !'"
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.  |

I can't believe it's 30 years ago - my God, doesn't time fly. ![]()
I got left at the services on the way home, managed to blag a lift of a coach dropping off at the Red Lion West Leigh, the coach was from Manchester and dropped me off at the Red Lion Lowton just in time to miss time, still a good day

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.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

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.
