There are many great players left out, ball playing loose forwards,Pinner & Foster,hard men, Pawsey,Grimes and Smethurst etc however, with Murphy in the team we didn't them, Murph was simply the best player& Coach I have ever seen and with these players at his disposal we would have been unbeatable! my opinion, of course!
One of the hardest tacklers I ever saw in a Leigh shirt.

Thanks everyone - now your getting the idea

Other possibilities just missing out: Joe Egan, Derek Pyke, Bill McFarland, Ray Tabern, Bill Kindon, Norman Harris, Alan Ackers, Neil Turley, Martin Ryan, Terry Bilsbury, Mick Stacey.
By the way, he did mention that he knows Pawsey played predominantly in the 2nd row however, this would still be his "dream team"

As voting stands at the moment John Woods is considered to be Leigh's best ever player - he's the only one who got 100% of votes for his position. The next would be Des Drummond because one person didn't put him in his team at all!
This is Leigh's dream 1-7 line up at the moment
1 Turley (7 votes) Hogan (6 votes)
2 Drummond (25 votes)
3 Donlan (13 votes)
4 Lewis/Bilsbury (8 votes each)
5 Walsh (13 votes)
6 Woods (26 votes)
7 Murphy (19 votes)
Those numbers may not be exact because I've just done a quick count - but I think our dream team is looking pretty good up to now.
Thanks everyone but keep 'em coming, the forwards are bit harder to count but I'll get round to it soon.
BTW I've obviously treated Vikingman's contribution with the contempt it deserves!

I'm having a problem with the forwards as the voting is very tight for the no's 11 & 12 shirts.
I've got Clarke with 9 votes, Tommy Martyn with 7 votes, Mick Martyn with 8 votes and 6 votes go to an unnamed Martyn, which could be a vote for either Tommy or Mick - I don't know which.
Other than that the vote is:
8 Wilkinson (9 votes)
9 Ashcroft (10 votes)
10 Street (10 votes)
11 ?
12 ?
13 Bristow (6 votes)
I think the choices for the subs should be chosen as such:
Each person chosen in their position will keep their votes and if they are voted a place on the subs bench, they will get a point added on - the four players with the highest overall votes gets a place - does everyone agree that this is a fair way to choose?
PS can anyone help me solve the riddle of the Martyns?
