WHAT
Seen him pull off some terrific one to one tackles

=========================================
Anyone who scored as many points as N. Turley did in his short career
is special no matter what level of RL they play at he was a points machine
Mick Nanyn is the same absolute brill when it comes to point scoring
Turley in my opinion is the best full back ive ever seen at Leigh and ive been watching them since 63 Dave Eck was good as was C . Johnson but Turley was a very special player and a great pity is career was cut short
some of the trys he scored for Leigh where outstanding and he had a habit of scoring trys when we had our backs to the wall, it will be a long time before we see someone as good as N Turley in a Num 1 shirt here at Leigh

To be fair in these dream teams, they are always dominated by players in 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s as there are probably not as many older people around to give tales of the likes of the Ledgard's of this world other tan perhaps a few former team-mates.

I prefer to call them generation players.

Neil Turley, Tim Street, Paul Rowley, Adam Bristow, even Dave and Andy Ruane are mine whereas others would say Drummond, Woods, Pyke, Wilkinson and others would speak of Eckersley, Ashcroft, Murphy and Smethurst.

My grandads raved over the likes of Ledgard, Egan, Robinson, Owen and Trevor Allen.

Agree 100% with all of that.

Turley was ripped to bits on here when he was playing.

turley was gud but prone to injury best full back for me has to be mick hogan

=====================================
Mick was great..............................
But just remind everyone on here ..MICK,S PLAYING STATS
AGAINST NEIL,S...............
No comparison Turley was a sensation when it came to scoring points
at a guess i would say Neil Turley in his short career scored more points than any other full back in the British game at any level ,how anyone can say he was,nt the best full back seen in a Leigh shirt over the past 40yrs
is madness brilliant player..

He was the player who got us into Superleague.Do you remember the Challenge cup against Whitehaven ? We were 8 points down and a minute to go but we won. Lots of Leythers had done the Wigan walk by then. We got Wigan next round robbed 16-30.

NT was worth an average 12 points start for every appearance he made!!

I think those stats speak for themselves........and before anyone starts spouting about those points not being scored at the highest level - the vast majority came from his boot....and they are just as hard to put over playing at Batley as they are at Wembley!!

Neil Turley was the best natural born player to pull on a Leigh shirt since Woody.

I don`t think anyone`s disputing that.......but natural and best are significantly different.
