I know this topic will probably have been covered before but I'm just in the process of making a Wiki page for Leighlife - a total history of Leigh RLFC. I've got photos, stories, newspaper articles and interviews which will all be included but it's taking quite a while to get together because there's that much stuff. One thing I would like to include is Leigh's best ever dream team. I need a coach, team and I think we should have 4 subs and anyone who has ever played/coached for Leigh can be included. I'd like them all to be in their playing positions and the most popular for each position gets in the team.

Thanks

I think there are a few who would put Giles at Full back.

Halliday needs to be in the pack

Dazzer Abes should be coach - most successful coach in recent years.

May need Lucas assisting him though

You're just sooo predictable

you obviously never saw David Stephenson

Dont you just love it!

How interesting that no one has put Murph as coach, considering he's the only one who really ever won anything!

Can Leigh fans forgive him for naffing off to Warrington and Wigan after the club's two finest hours

Ah good point!






He's still the best coach we ever had though!

What a front row that would be.

He is the best motivator we've ever had
