The first recording is Alex talking about his arrival at Leigh, his fall out with Saints and his plans for the future. The second recording Alex talks about the signing of each player, they're not in any particular order but he does mention each player. http://www.leighlife.com/index.php?page ... diodiaries The next chapters will follow shortly. I have listened to some of the Alex stuff and it's great. I was amazed by the whole site. I loved the stuff on Alfred Watts, who I know, and the pictures which showed the two houses in Bedford where I spent most of my life. Brilliant! Thank you.

The Gallery on there is second to none for photos of Leigh.

Thanks LF

BTW this might be an ideal time to ask if anyone has any specific questons for him - I can easily fit them into my next interviews.

I really have enjoyed the first two volumes great, can you ask Alex what he's backing in the National

Really enjoyed these Mishmash, I was lucky enough to watch Leigh through the whole of Alex's reign.

It was interesting on the 2nd tape Alex saying that ball handling made up 90% of the team skills training. Modern rugby league has replaced this with 90% 'grunt' in my opinion.

I really look forward to the next instalment. Keep up the good work!
