yesterday when i went to my mums she unearted an old photo from when i was a kid,of me with...............ROBERT MOIMOI!

Crikey! He wasn't a bad centre though. We also had Paddy Tuimavave and Shane Horo that year who I believe played for Auckland.

Horo was really good but he never went onto bigger success as far as I'm aware. He was a top winger though and scored a number of tries while he was here.

horo! god i remember him! wasnt it through our ill fated "the bears" period?

Not sure. I think Horo played the season that Mike Ford was at Leigh and he only started playing once he'd had a transfer request accepted

Did he go to Wigan?

Horo & Tuimavava played IIRC in the 87/88 season - The latter having signed from Swinton.

Horo was a class act and again IIRC a NZ international by the time he signed. He never played for W*gan

I also remember Robert Moimoi making his debut in the 1988/89 season as 'AN Other' up at Carlisle. Leigh had just been relegated from the top flight at the time. He returned for one further season when Leigh won promotion at the first attempt for the following 1989/90 season.

No Ford came to us from Wigan he 'had a dream' of being the captain of Oldham in a Challenge Cup final, and asked for a transfer and Oldham signed him

but mick was refused

Robert Moimoi, the man with about 5 wifes !!

It's bad enough having 1. Let alone 5.

Fairly sure that Shane Horro went on to play for Cas...............

Might be right there. Was a class act while we had him. I remember him tip toeing his way down the touchline to score in the corner in one game. I'm sure it was against Hull KR.

That try sticks in my mind it was class.

how do you people remember these things???

i struggle to remember what happened this morning!!

Me too , what day was it again ?

Its called having a retentive memory.................

Correct.

I think he played 1 season at Cas.

I recall him scoring 2 fantastic tries v the pies at Central Park. I fact, he scored quite a few for Leigh in his only season!

All Leigh fans expected Wigan to absolutely 'tater' us, but the scrawped a 34-24 win.

Unlucky not to win!

Moimoi was a top bloke, and he had a few sessions training with the unstoppable Leigh East U16s side. A right character and a pretty good centre.

We have had a few good Kiwi Centres. Obviously, Luluei, but who remembers Jimmy Vaikoso ?

Snowy,

I think Horo scored a hat trick that day! Although I think it was his brother Mark Horo who played for the full kiwi's,

I don't recall mentioning that he played for the Kiwi's!



really enjoyed watching Leigh in that era. Fans went in their droves, home AND away!!!

In WINTER too wasn't it
