Quote:Leigh’s John Woods ran a close second followed by Central Park favourite Shaun Edwards.


WTF - I remember Woody, he was pretty classy for a couple of years for Leigh before buggering off to Dire, but to beat Shaun Edwards into 2nd place....???? Mmmmm.....Not too sure about that one!! :STUPID:

Well I assume the Wiganer's voted for the Wigan player and the Leythers the Leigh player but Woods coming 2nd is a bit odd. What about Alex Murphy?

Who can argue?

Well done Billy.


Obviously few would have seen the great Jim Sullivan play, but those amongst us (myself included) who saw Billy wouldn't argue with the decision, he was, and still is, the best player I have ever seen in the cherry 'n' white.
