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!!

Dave
best leigh player i can think of is Des Drummond
it is odd Woods coming 2nd.........theres about 200+ old wigan players better than him
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.
