| 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 !!

| Quote: Snowy "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 !'"
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.

| Quote: mishmash "In 1982 Leigh beat Whitehaven to become RFL Champions. Thousands of fans made the midweek trek up to Whitehaven to watch Leigh clinch the title with a 13-4 win.
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.

| 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.

Picture is still up in the Hilton Arms near the bar if drunken memory serves me right.
