Quote: WOODDDDDDDYA "My first game watching the team with my Dad at Headingley in the 1989 Challenge Cup game against Widnes. We got absolutely hammered but I've never seen the ground so packed. It was like being at a football match in the good old days, I'll never forget it.'"
Remember that game well. Over 26K in attendance that Sunday afternoon (I think it was a quarter final). Leeds had earlier beaten Hunslet in the Preliminary Round at Headingley, York at Bootham Crescent (another healthy five figure attendance) and Carlisle at Headingley. I attended all of them. Missed very few games back then, home or away.
Leeds 4 (Tries: Lee Crooks)
Widnes 24 (Tries: Joe Grima 2, Andy Currier, Richie Eyres, Martin Offiah... Goals: Andy Currier 2)
