Des Drummond (1958-2022) *63

Des Drummond was an England and Great Britain international rugby league footballer who played on the wing in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Drummond won 24 Great Briitain caps, the first against New Zealand in 1980, the last against France in 1988. He signed for Leigh almost by accident, having travelled to watch his older brother Alva Drummond play for the reserve team. Leigh found themselves a player short due to injury, and he was persuaded to play. He made such an impact that he was offered a professional contract within the week. He quickly became a star player at the Lancashire club, particularly after a series of televised appearances during the run to Leigh's 4-12 defeat by Castleford in the 1976 BBC2 Floodlit Trophy Final at Hilton Park, Leigh on Tuesday 14 December 1976.
