Great post VL and I also can only speak of good things about all of the staff that I have come into contact with at our club. Even though we didn't win I hope you both had a fantastic evening and I wish your dad all the very best and hope he makes a full and swift recovery.
Stories like this are the reasons we love our clubs, our communities and the great game of Rugby League.

What a remarkable story. It totally sums up our club, it's fantastic staff and the great supporters who follow it. I can certainly relate to the passion evident by the two Gentleman for Leigh RLFC.

Best wishes to your Dad, VL, both for a speedy recovery and many more splendid memories together watching our superb club.

Love the sentiment here, my story is slightly different my dad hasn't attended a Leigh game since 1977-he discovered golf!!! however i started going with my mate and his dad and grandad, and continued to go till i emigrated in 2008 to New Zealand.

I arrived back in this country last Week and we attended the Leeds game last night, this was the first time that both my dad who is 77 and myself 48 have gone to watch Leigh together(we have attended international matches and other sports but calenders never seemed to line up when Leigh were playing), we really enjoyed the game despite the result.

I will be back there on Friday for the saints game before flying back on the Monday, so it will be back to Sky Sports in NZ MixLR at some ungodly hour

Fantastic story. I'm not surprised Matt was involved, he's a top man (for a Leyther that is )

Reading that brought a tear to my eyes..

All the very best to your Dad .
After suffering a serious illness myself in 2015 I have nothing but praise for the NHS Wigan & Leigh and Salford Royal ..
Well Done Centurions for bringing so much Happiness to a couple of Leythers ..Fantastic Club run by Brilliant People
Fab game has well Lads !!!

Well done to all concerned for the great gesture. Hope your dad has a speedy recovery VL we will all be praying for him. Also the same surgeon treated my mother in law a few years ago and she made a full recovery she is now 87 years old. Hope you get to more games together.

Well, the dream continues. We managed to get my Dad out for the game again tonight as his surgery has been held over to Tuesday to get some nutrition in him. My son came up from down south. He is a Royal Marine and brought up his arctic gear to keep my Dad warm. With that on, he managed to sit in his regular season ticket seats with us all together (thanks again to Leyther Matt Lawton). He of course had a ball and at the end I shouted to Adam Higson who waited for my Dad to walk over to the boards to shake his hand and get a great photo. Adam is my Dads favourite player.
First SL win, with his family around him (my Mum, son and myself) and a moment to cherish with Adam. Leigh Rugby has given me many great memories, but seeing my Dad put on his Leigh shirt, beam from ear to ear and say "now I feel reet, let's go!". Priceless !
What a night

Great to hear your Dad got to see a Leigh win over Saints at the Fortress that must become the LSV.

Moment's to cherish indeed.

Nice one VL. Your Dad must have seen some dross over the years, but at least at this time of his life he is getting to witness the good times with his son and grandson at his side. Memories forever.

Our club takes a lot of sheet from a lot of people but by God we are a very close family. My prayers are with you for a successful operation for your dad and many more nights together like last night.

Both your eyes are Glass?
