Very sad to hear that. One of my favourites, from a cracking team. Yet another who always gave 100%. RIP Mick, and condolences to his family.

R.I.P. Mick , sad to lose another Leigh Legend.

sorry to hear about micks passing worked with him as well as watched him play, didnt work to many mondays after games though RIP mick

Alf Wilkinson and Tony Cooke went to see Mick in the Nursing home yesterday and reported Mick to be "very ill" It is really sad to hear of his passing this morning. Mick was a larger than life character, a real, natural comedian and a brilliant full back.

Joe Walsh, Billy Kindon and now Mick - a hat trick of legends have now left us recently - may they all rest in peace.

This is very sad news - I knew Mick very well in the '80's, I was Jenny's best friend (his wife at the time) and spent many, many weekends at their house - all 3 of us drunk as a skunk and sleeping where we fell. Great memories. My thoughts are with hs family.

RIP Mick.

Very sad. Can still see Mick in the changing room. Teeth missing. Big grin.
Was always a player I looked up to.

Best Leigh fullback I ever saw... no disrespect to Niel Turley and Chris Johnson... a great player, a League Champion, and always to live in the hearts and minds of Leythers and RL fans, wherever they may be.

Without doubt the best FB in modern history of Leigh RL, very sad news.

Can not argue with you there one of the Leigh greats a sad sad loss .

Very sad news, one of the best fullbacks i have ever seen. Would tackle anything, safe as houses under the high ball. A very brave fullback who got quite a lot of injuries by putting his body on the line week after week. R.I.P. Mick

Such a shame.... LEGEND

Sad news indeed. RIP Mick and thanks for the memories. Am I right in thinking he is the first of the 1981/82 championship winning team to pass away?

RIP Mick ..... top fullback in both attack and defence...

Pretty sure Geoff Clarkson passed away a few years ago...

yes Big Geoff has passed away.

Very sad news....I have many happy memories of Mick.

one of the best fullbacks to wear the Leigh colours.
RIP Mick you will be missed.

RIP Mick....the bravest full back i ever saw...thanks for some great memories

Sad news in whats been a sad week around.

Have just been speaking to AJM and he's asked me to put his on here:

"Mick Hogan was one of the nicest lads I ever met and he was a world class player who never got the recognition he deserved. He was a great team player, someone we could all rely on and he was a big part of one of the best teams Leigh have ever had. He will be sadly missed - RIP Mick."

Very sad news indeed. I only posted this pic. on another thread a few days ago. That's Mick on the front row second from the right. R.I.P. Mick.

very sad news. my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Mick was one of the best all round full backs that ever wore a Leigh shirt. RIP

Very sad news indeed,

Mick epitomized everything that was great about that team, a local lad, a great player and as brave as a lion.

He will be sadly missed. RIP Mick

had the pleasure like many of you to watch mick play in the early eighties,absolute legend and very under-rated fullback,imho the best fullback up to date
