This was the best thing I’ve watched all year! I wasn’t born in 71, but gosh this is inspiring! Feeling so unbelievably proud.
loved it
wow what a great programme.
Fantastic. I’m in bits after watching that.
I’m a Saints fan. I moved to the Leigh area 14 years ago and I’ve watched Leigh on and off during that time. Though I still go watching Saints I wanted Leigh to get to Wembley. I think they’re a fantastic club with a fantastic core fan base, and I still watch them when I can fit their games in, typically half a dozen games a season.
That was a fascinating film. Mike is a credit to the club, Town and game.
RIP to our old club historian Denis Whittle. He did a tremendous job for St Helens.
I recall Walsh boots, too. I had a pair in the 1980’s.
With regards to Derek, I used to think he was a bit of a crank, I’m sorry to say. That couldn’t be further from the truth. He seems like a remarkable character. That was a master stroke to have him and Mike reinforcing to the players the importance they have on the town.
Mike is right, this success is down to him and his bloody minded perseverance!
Come on Leigh, bring home the cup!
Mike Latham never disappoints but that was spine tingling !
Leythers are massive !!!
What a fantastic historical piece. Always full of knowledge, passion, and emotion, but this is exceptional.
Brilliant watch , theres something in my eye 🐆
Mike is a legend. What an inspiring story.
