Think Mr Murphy might have a shout. Who do you think?

Got to be Murph.

Many of our legends came through the system or were not big names when they signed for us.

Just trying to bring the hype round FFMM to a manageable level.

Tim street. Signed as a unknown from wigan A team, and led our pack superbly in not always great teams. for years.

Alan Mason , What a Half-back .

I think the people who gave that comment out never actually saw Murph at his pomp

Murphy without a shadow of a doubt is Leighs greatest ever signing and the best ever player ive ever seen he was in his prime the Worlds number 1 player in either code..It was sensational when Leigh signed him has coach and even more so when they managed to get his playing registration he was the best and no halfback in my opinion has ever come near him since..

signing to a dotted line...John Woods

Greatest player ever signed..... Murphy
Signing that has had the greatest impact on the rugby league world for our club. Fui Fui

I agree with all that you say, I cant think of another player I'd choose before Murph in any team and without doubt its the shrewdest bit of business we ever did!
We have however grabbed the headlines on a number of occasions in the past, Trevor Allan, Joe Egan (world record signing), Jim Ledgard, Bev Risman (England RU star) all these players brought the headlines. E.McDonald Bailey (world record holder for 100mtrs/yds) probably brought the biggest headline of them all however, that really was a publicity stunt although, his scoring record was sensational itself, one game, one try!!


There is no doubt that Fui has also captured the headlines and, full marks to the club for pulling this off! I look forward to Fui's debut and i'm sure he will repay the clubs investment in him

It has to be Murphy.

Wasn’t Ian Potter a record signing as well?

Definitely King Alex. Pity we couldn't keep him and he went to Warrington along with Ashcroft and Chissy, or we could have probably made it a hat trick of Wembley appearances in the 70s.
