Think those rumours started as he disappeared around the same time and in the same way as Penky. However Penky's drugs ban came about a few months ago now after he ran out of appeals at the end of a long appeals process. Don't know for sure how these things work but would imagine if Platt had been found guilty we'd have heard about it by now.

Yes Charlie

Your like load of bloody old Washerwomen

Good Afternoon Peawaap,it's always good to read your input on the Forum, I hope you are well?And look forward to seeing you at games in the near future.

............in a Chinese laundry?

Good day sir ,yes you will see me at the games in the coming season apart from the first three when I will be visiting my sister in the dark continent of Africa ,quite near to Witwatresrand University from whence came our goal kicking fullback of the 60s Piet Botha , I will return for Bratfurt away

I've mentioned it before ,Piet Bothas was full back when I first started watching Leigh,I think he only played that one season, like me he had red hair, but he was a good goalkicker.Hope to see you at Bradford,have a safe journey.

Ihank's Charlie I remember a cup replay at Leeds in the 60s ,the Teams had drawn 7-7 at Leigh on the Saturday I had taken a half day off from the Cable works and went on the .L.U.T. Coach to Leeds for the replay ,with time running out and losing 16-12 Stan Owen ,had the ball kicked over the fullbacks yed ran past Him gathered the all and scored behind the posts for Botha to convert and win the match 17-16 , I liked him
