LEIGHTON JAMES R.I.P.

R.I.P. Leighton , thanks for the memories , I will never forget your wing play and your link play with Dzemal Hadziabdic. A beautiful combination.
Your penalty taking should be shown to anyone who takes penalties - 12 yard run up , no hesitation and hit high and hard ! Never saw him miss !
Brilliant ,combatitive, fast and skillful , we will always remember you .R.I.P.

Sincere condolences to Leighton's family and friends. I remember him as a stalwart of Tosh's Swans and, as Blobs said, his link play with Jimmy was fantastic. As for pens, I well remember one that beat England back in the day when that was even rarer than it is now. He was quick, tricky, could beat a man with ease and his crosses were usually on the nail. Tremendous memories, my man, you will never be forgotten and, as CJ, posted, a true legend. RIP.

One of Leighton's best ever goals and I was right behind the net the ball landed in.

And here's Leighton tearing the England defence a new one as we hammered England 4-1. Now that rarely happened!
