Leigh players are l to r..... Roy Howarth, Gary Straddins ?,Darren Ramsdale,Ian Potter, Kenny Green and Big Alf Wilk.

Could ve been Saints in their away kit.

This is Saints. Peter Glynn , Peter Gorley, Graham Liptrot , Mike Hope ?

Leigh players look like Alf Wilkinson , Mick McTigue and Walt's Lad.

The Fev player, 2nd from the left....I'm sure my dad had a video with him in it.



I trump you with David Stephenson (times 4) and not passing to Barry Lager at our last away game to Saints in the late 80's.

The useless stump.

Grrrrrr.

What a waste of £50k for Stephenson , in todays climate we could ve got Inglis on that money.........

I think that might have been Murphy's first game as coach. 27-6 if I recall. Oh and on the first pic John Stringer and Kevin Ashcroft must wonder why have I kept my youthfull good looks.

is that derek pyke on the far right?????

see next post

is that derek pyke on far right in opposition colours?????

John Henderson. One of my Favourite players a kid. Lightning quick and great footwork.

I vaguely remember a game against Widnes at HP (Which we lost 24-16 I think), and remember him scoring an 80 yarder leaving John Bassnett and Joe Lydon for dead !

As already said though, his failure to pass when clean through from a Harry Pinner pass v Saints was heartbreaking. That would have levelled it 14-14 with us well on top !

that isn't Gary Straddings, we named the lad Paddy, his first name was Michael Something. Can't recall his second name though i do remember he had a diffferent job every month. I played in the same team as them.

Some great pics there mishers

Without a doubt this is Fax, the mighty Brett Greenwood and Keith Waites at the back I think.

Thank you all very much, I'm just going to try clean some of them up a bit more and then I'll get them all posted.

Deleted, I missed a page.

Well spotted.

Derek Pyke in Leigh RU colours of amber stipes on black jersey playing in some sort of charity game perhaps?

Here's another one in the same strip:

In fact, when I zoom in on this, the player at the back (centre) of the shot looks like Kevin Ashcroft and the player in front of him looks like Ray Tabern. I wonder what game it was?

Look at the crowd (or lack of). Leigh RU friendly game, I'm sure.

That looks like Tommy Gittins with the ball.

whoever they were I'd bet they didn't catch him





Some great photos - those were the days. If SKY and SL had kicked off in that era who knows where we would be now

When Leigh players played with pride and gave everything, qualities much missed today

Not sure if you mean that, but unfair if so.

From what I see not many don't give it there all - just dont have the ability.

Fantastic photos. Thanks.

Was it Rascangers ?

You're bang on there Col. One thing that makes me keep going is to see the amount of effort certain players put in each week. Bibey, Goulden, Taylor, Hill in the pack are a pleasure to watch.
