Quote: marathonman "I doubt if anyone on here remembers him,but a guy called Chris Fawdington used to play at scrum half for Leeds in the '70's and he was well over 6ft !
had a butchers shop in Holbeck,probably still does'"
Although he did play at scrum half on occasions, I remember him primarily as a full back.
Was a good player too , but suffered a bad injury which cut his career short.
His mum & dad used to sit next to me in the North stand & occasionally Chris used to come to the game with them.
His butchers shop was on Domestic St (corner of Shafton lane) but closed a number of years ago.
You are right though, he is a big lad !
