Thanks for that, it is a good read based on fans' recollections of Dessie, quite a few "I was there " moments. There are a few familiar names among the contributors.

My des favorite was his try against wigan at hilton park were he turmed henderson gill inside and out and dived so high I swear he was going to fly over the crossbar,true legend and a bloomin nice bloke to boot

Pity we don't use him and woody in some sort of club ambassadors roles at the club

Being an old bugger now,i was very lucky to see them both in there prime,i still see (god) mr woods in my work,lets hope and pray, the local production line of Leigh east/Miners continues to
produce local talent and when i win the EURO lottery we can promise a good future for our town!

It was always funny when we played the pies, Gill was terrified of Dessie , he always used to ' track ' across the pitch to the other wing with Dessie following him
