| Dave Riley ?
Big prop who I loved smashing to bits when he was at Golborne. Decent boot on him though, but never good enough to play for Leigh.
Dave Wright? - Nice lad who was if anything a little overrated. Again not good enough but wore his heart on his sleeve.
Glyn Davies ? - Had the pedigree to be a top player. Superb as a youngster who should have done more with career than he did. His temper got the better of him at times but was the nucleus of the best U16's sides Leigh East will ever have.
You can tell this is my era ! I can tell a few tales abouts Mssrs, Rowley, Baldwin, Martin etc.
Who remembers Alan Robinshaw ?  Jeez, that era in the mid nineties were a mare !! But to be honest, are probably the best away days I have ever had watching Leigh (except the 94-4 to Workington !!)  |

I used to go to school with Alan Robinshaw, daft as a brush.
Glyn was a good Leigh lad, a pleasant fella if you know him - one of many who soon preferred beer and women than pro rugby.

On another slightly related topic, I have a copy of 'They Played For Leigh' which goes to the end of the 1990-91 season. Seems to me now would be a good time to bring a new copy out as it's 20 years out of date.

Brad Fitler "If the ref's decision decides your game. You haven't done enough prior."
Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

I do. Wasn't he one of about a dozen hookers we had at that time? |

I remember that. The Leythers didn't even react, it was just stunned disbelief.
