While we are on this era, does anyone else miss the late 80's early 90's.

I know we were bobbins and the biggest under acheivers rugby league has ever seen but as my first few seasons of watching TGG will always have a special place in me heart.

No Rhinos
No Band
No having to get to the Southstand gates about 3 hours before k.o.
No stewards stopping you from changing ends at h-t.
Chants of the Green Green Grass of Headingley and "We lead you all whoever you may be...." to the tune of the lord of thye dance,m instead of the moronic chants we get these days

Ahh them were t'days

john carroll was never the same after breaking his leg , was in cumbria iirc

Cup game at Whitehaven IIRC, Can't quite remember the year.

John Carroll broke his leg (compound fracture ala Chev Walker) at the Recreation Ground, 28th March 1982. It was during a regular league fixture which Leeds went on to win 27 - 12

John Carroll's next 1st grade outing for Leeds was two seasons later on the 25th September 1983. Again it was a regular league fixture against Whitehaven, this time Leeds prevailing 48 - 8 at Headingley.

He would play in the following two fixtures V Hull and Castleford respectively but they were to be his final outings for the club (not withstanding a non playing substitute 'appearance' V Hull KR in November 1983.)

Gosh was it really that long ago. I also remember John Holmes dropping to loose forward at some point during his latter years: when was that exactly and how many games there ?
