Rex Mossop died in Sydney this morning. Possibly the best forward who ever played for Leigh and a gentleman into the bargain

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



RIP Moose

If you can get hold of a copy I can highly recommend his autobiography "The moose that roared"

A legend of Leigh and of the RL world. Moose was very complementary of the Leighh people, he never forgot the warmth and generosity of the townsfolk. And we'll never forget him. RIP Moose.

I had the pleasure of meeting The Moose in a pub in Halifax about 20 years ago, prior to a Halifax v Australia tour match. He had time for everybody. Rest in peace Moose

Here's a link to this news in The Sydney Morning Herald. Let's get some comments on there from Leythers who knew him or remember him playing for Leigh:

There should be a minute's silence at today's game.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



There was a minutes silence today but it was n`t for Rex Mossop. Surely the club were aware of his passing?

It was a surprise that it didn't get a mention.

The plank with the mike didn't help the occasion by uttering "doubting" instead of "doting"

Bolton by birth, Irish by blood, LEYTHER by heart and soul!! [quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3] [quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people. As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg
