Yes that is correct! Jokingly, I never forgave him for that!!

Leeds started the game with Innes and Lowes at half-back (Schofield, Hanley and Molloy were away on International duty) with Holroyd and Harland on the bench. Holroyd was introduced during the half-time break replacing Fallon but he went straight into the stand-off position with Innes moving back in to the centre with Irving moving on to Fallon's wing. Leeds were winning at half-time but it was a scrappy, disjointed performance to that point. Holroyd would go on to score two and create two more and the resemblance to Schofield was immediately apparent, right down to the attitude away from the pitch.

Laughton admitting to having to 'carpet him' a couple of times already before he even got around to making his debut but he reminded him of a young Tony Myler and that was high praise indeed.

Six minutes into the 2nd half Fallon was back out there replacing Iro who had gone down with an ankle injury that would keep him out of the CC Semi-Final V Widnes the following week. That was the game Goulding was waxing lyrical about on SL Supermen the other week - and one in the eye for his former team and boss.



Usual position lads - behind the posts.

Before the season was out it would be Schofield being carpeted by Laughton for breaches of club discipline and receiving a two week club ban.

There are some Leeds legends in that shot.

Well, some sort of " ...ends" anyway.

I'm struggling to identify a few. Ming and Keith Rayne in the scrum cap ??

Left to Right:

Simon Irving, Schoey, Paul Anderson, Gary Mercer, Mike O'Neill, Jimmy Lowes. You can also (part) see Ellery (behind Mercer), Phil Hassan? (behind Lowes) and Jim Fallon (behind Hassan).

What do I win?

Keith Rayne? same time as Mercer. Nah, it's O'Neil isn't it?

On the way to that game, our coach got stuck in horrendous traffic and we got in about ten minutes prior to kick off. It just had a wrong feeling all day. On the coach, as we were in the jam, the radio had ''Once In A lifetime' by Talking Heads playing. It's lyrics 'same as it ever was....same as it ever was' were strangley prophetic.

That bloke has some handshake*

My respect. Hassan didn't play (indeed didn't make his debut until the following season) so he's ruled out. Looking at the team that did play I'll go with Craig Innes being the owner of the barnet behind Lowes. I wouldn't even hazard a guess at the player behind him and I'm looking at the original (newspaper original that is) image.

Without having already identified the game I was tempted to ask: which ground ? (Noticing there is a fairly large clue to be found between Schofield and Anderson.)



Indeed and as the report states, 'bitching at each other behind the sticks' is never a particularly good look.

Central park?
