Yeah I know, its a week early, but if I don't post these now I'll have forgotten most by next week!


Leeds once (in)famously signed 9 players from Keighley for £20k (I think). Can you name them?

Which 2004 Grand Final winner had previously played for Gateshead and which one for Workington?

Several ex-players have gone on to become licensees. How many players and premises can you name?

Which late 80s/early 90s forward was a painter & decorator?

Which 1990s forward had trained as a chef?

Which 1980s forward was also a coal merchant?

Which 2 other British clubs did Chris McKenna play for?

Can you name a player who has started first team games at both prop and stand off?

How about players who have started first team games at both scrum half and in the second row?

Onto which 1990s player’s kitchen floor did a friend of a friend manually deposit his man milk a few years ago, as an act of retribution for being excluded from a group sex session?

Will three be ok?

London Broncos, Bradford Bulls, Doncaster.

You know the strangest people.


Anyway, Gateshead - Wayne McDonald
Pub licensees, there's loads and I can't think of any now, probably becasue of your "friend" and his strange habits in kitchens.
Painter & Decorator - Lee "I'm even more stupid than I look" Crooks
The players who started at both prop and stand off and scrum half and second row, I don't know but I'd have loved to have seen those scrums, did he have to run around the back after the ball had gone in ?

Oo Ah Georgie Mann

Hmm, cant name all nine, BUT off the top of my head........ Powell, Fleary(?), Farrell(?), Lawford,

Correct on Crooksy - but not on Wayne Macdonald - he joined just after the...er...'merger' between Gateshead and Hull.

Yup.

Robert Roberts

You started well with the first two...

From memory only one other played first grade and another played in a Boxing Day friendly then declined a contract. The others were all registered to Leeds but didn't play for the club (except one who was ex-Leeds anyway).

Workington - Tony Smith?

Good old Two Bobs - yep.

Three down 6 to go.

Was that Simon Irving?

Is andy hay the chef????????
Sinfield SH and SR????
Licencees,Blackmore,Schoey and..................
