Derek Beaumont says he finds watching Leigh “difficult” as he reveals his “dream”

Derek Beaumont

Derek Beaumont is Mr Leigh Leopards.

But speaking on the Eddie and Stevo podcast, the Leigh owner answered the question of when he could eventually leave the club.

Beaumont subsequently opened up on the “stress” he suffers from admitting he finds games difficult to watch.

However, he has an ultimate dream that he wants to achieve before he considers stepping away.

He said: “This role does give me a lot of stress. Would that time every come (for me to leave)? Well, if I’m honest this is my biggest shot at it right now.

“I’m hoping now we can get on with what I am really in the game for, and that’s to walk out with Leigh at Wembley or Old Trafford – or both at some point in my life.

“I love the game but I struggle to watch it. It’s so difficult at times to watch it, to watch our team make errors, to watch the officials make errors and then watch the other team capitalise on that.

“It is hard to watch, so I don’t know if I would be able to watch the game if we got to a major final.

“The dream this year for me at Wembley is to watch the 1895 Cup Final, which my company sponsors, then take that tie off and put on my team tie and watch Leigh play in a Challenge Cup Final – that is the dream.”
