Great shout Dennis Boyd at 13 the best tackler ever to play for leigh

Surely JT is the best tackler ever to play for Leigh? Not that i saw Boyd play but McTigue Potter etc would all take some beating as well.

To be fair Frank, that name related to his defence when playing Full-Back. For me he played his best rugby for us at Stand-off.....and it was during this period he earned the nickname "Magic"!!





He still wouldn't be in my dream 17 though!!

What a team full of World class players

We could go on forever on this one - what about the hardest forward we ever had - Charlie Pawsey, the stevedore from Salford, or Frank Kitchen who could catch pigeons on the wing. Then there was the legend that was Jimmy Ledgard, and also Bill Robinson - all Leigh internationals and capped whilst playing for Leigh.
