Dont you remember the drop goal

Good point, forgot about that. Where did it all go wrong for Govin?!

Mutants away early 90`s with Troy Clarke ... I remember an excellent JP trophy away win at NP late `80`s..........Haven away `82, KR CC `82 A ,.....

HKR CC 82, Wigan 80-84, Haven 82, HKR CC 90'S, Hull CC 87?, Leeds 82,

floodlight trophy at wigan can,t remember year Tickel scored try fergie kicked from touch line half way ohhhhh the memories

Saints away in super league. The team got beat but our lads tried their guts out, the james taylor quartet took out cunningham, gardner and someone else with his crunchers! The saints fans clapped the leigh players off at the end.

HKR CC & Haven away both 82, Widnes JPT 85, Warrington 87

"One try, we only want one try...."

That was amazing Matt, then, 'two tries, we only want two tries'. We celebrated like it was the winner when we scored too!

Warrington 17-10 in 1987

Beating Wigan in 84 (Hilton Park Packed!!)

Widnes away 92? - Great comeback to pip Widnes and stay up !

St Helens 87 ? - Packed HP to watch us comeback to a Jeff Clark inspired victory over a fancied Saint side in the Lancashire cup !


Widnes 35-31 in the John Player (was it 85-86?) Dessie Awsome

Keighley 2000 when we came back from 28-8 to win 36-28

Warrington (2001?) - Lost 20-10 but the Railway end completely packed with 4000+ Leigh fans

Haven in the Grand Final - Absolutely inconsolible ! Its the happiest I have been since my wife gave me £20 to go and watch Leigh in 1999 (when I was skint !!

)

Happy, Happy days




Worst - For what I can remember - Workington 94-4 !!

I like how beating wigan at hilton park wasnt an away day, but you mentioned it anyway!

Hence the reason why I mentioned it !!!! Not many posters on this forum have ever seen a Leyth side stuff Wigan !!

By the way, we beat them away too (even though we got relegated !!)

mine were as well but I saw the thread as a question nand put my two as a pointer that not all the best games were away and not all recently, some of the home wins in the 80's were awsome for those of mus mature enough (cough cough) to remember

Wish I could remember doing wigan, other than in a freindly. I was probably at those games but too little to remember.

they are only a DVD away

Where do i ger=t it on dvd? I'll swap it with anyone for 'Hook' starring Robin Williams.

Don't think Fred does swaps, but good try !

favourite away day warrington 87 to stay in the league...cant beat that for last minute drama

Beating Wi@@n at Central Park 17-15 in 1960

, two days before losing the Lancashire Cup semi Final to Saints!

I was at both.

That Saints semi was on a Monday 3-45pm kick off.
Us schoolkids got on the bus to the top of the avenue but the driver had a brain storm and missed the Holden Rd turn off. We only finished school at 3-45pm anyways the groan that went up could have been heard in Atherton. Bus driver backed into a side street and then down Holden Rd we got to the ground at 4pm.

Think we lost 15-2.

7th OCT 1979
WIGAN 7 LEIGH 32
I THINK THAT WAS THE SCORE DESSIE SCORED A 90 YRD TRY STRAIGHT FROM THE KO
SECOND HALF..sorry for the caps but it still excites me thinkin about it

Have you got this one Fred??
Or how about "Woody v Leeds"?



Is there a ful list of the archive?

Would love some of these to show to Walt Jnr.

nothing so 'old' games were only videoed from the early 80's

i will get around to making an archive list one day, but not got one as yet unfortunately

Wigan 5-9 Leigh - 4-10-1981
Can't remember who scored but Dave Dunn got carried off and Kenny Green sent off for persistant scrum feeding (remember when that was an offence???)
