Three overriding memories of JP were:

The John Player trophy final in 1983 when he and Nicky Kiss threw their jerseys into the crowd during the post match celebrations.
His try on a Knowsley Road mudbath in the the 1984 CC quarter final that turned the game in our favour with less than 20 minutes left. We'd gone 14 years without a wembley appearance and that set us on our way even though we eventually came up short against Widnes that year.
His try save in the dying moments of the 1987 CC final for Halifax when he punched the ball out of Mark Elia's hand just as Elia was about to score what would have been the match winning try.

A vastly underrated player. Up there with Harry Pinner in my opinion.

isn't he married to Amanda Wilkinson who works for Wigan RLFC?

John is a top bloke as is his brother Gary who is a true Leigh easter! John was assistant to Brian Noble.

One of my favourite Salford players of that era too.

Harry Pinner was a great ball playing forward. One of my favourite saints player of old.

cant be, cos it would be Amanda Pendlebury, surely.
