To be fair he's done a good top the last two years and both the East and Miners tops are blinders, so for a pie he's not having a disaster.

I've got a team photo on my wall from 1971 of the team wearing a shirt with a vee and always presumed it was a red vee, though no ideas on why it was the case as I'm not as old as you or Fred  |

| Quote: dick scratcher "I like it. I showed it to my 8 year son this morning and he said "its wicked!" and hes the age group that will be asking for one for christmas. Youll probably find the ones who are whinging about the design are too old to buy and wear one anyway. Also theres only so much you can do with red and white hoops so we cant have that every year.'"
Oi! I'm not too old to buy one! I do think though the missing Leigh crest lets it down.
Oh, and that it looks like Picasso took a big dump on it. |

yes the home team did have to change, we have played with a red vee, my recollections of a blue v could well be affected by the amount of Double Diamond I used to consume in those days (for all you pups DD was a real gradely drink and Manns brown ale (mmmm) not this knatts pee that passes for lager these days - then again who remembers Grunhaller (sp) now that was cr*p)

Thought we were. (Beat Saints at Station Road Swinton)
May have been the year before. A lot of different chemical substances over the years have dimmed my memory since then 
Maybe someone can clear this up? |

Back on topic ...
I don't the new shirt is too bad, it just doesn't look like a Leigh shirt?
In fact it doesn't really look like an RL shirt?!

I think around Murphs time so between 69 and 71 we lost a Lancs Cup Final to Swinton 7-4.

We beat Widnes in 1970 to win the LANCS CUP @Central Park (the highlights are on the 70-71 season compilation tape I was selling a couple of years ago).
