Really sad to hear the news about Atky. Was one of my first Leeds heroes. My first game saw him score his 300th try in a home tonking by Workington, in the 78/79 season I think it was. Stood down in the old Paddock, and followed all the other kids onto the pitch, when he scored, in an attempt to get his tie-ups from his socks - as happpened during and after games in those days! Absolute class winger. Hope you get back on top soon Atky

Hear Hear !

Drunk drivers who get behind the wheel of a car, and then assault the arresting officers get no sympathy in my book. Period.

And that includes former players who have graced Headingley for us back in the day.

Ah yes Mr Schofield is no stranger to the breathalyser!

Here,you dropped something!

I agree but would make a distinction between 'drunk' and 'drink' drivers.

The worst examples though are those that are 'blind drunk' drivers.

A sad incident for a true Leeds RL legend to be involved in but there is usually a back story and one that in this case appears valid. No excuse but a reason for an otherwise out of character reaction.

I too hope he can move on and not let this episode define him for the future.

Great, great winger but an average kicker who when he put boot to ball it was almost odds on it would end up in the back of the stand, (not that he resorted to putting boot to ball that often, his blistering pace was usually sufficient.)
