FIFTY years ago today, on 15 May 1971, Leigh went to Wembley for their first and only time. And although they went down to London as massive underdogs, Alex Murphy’s marvels emerged victorious with a 24-7 win over Leeds. Leigh, guided around the field by the mercurial Murphy and with a pack fired up by loose forward Peter Smethurst, were always in control. And although Leeds skipper Syd Hynes found infamy for being the first man to be sent off in a Wembley final for butting Murphy 15 minutes from time, the red and white ribbons were already on the magnificent old trophy.
