| following on from tonights front page on the YEP, Who is your most obscure Leeds RL player ever ?
I'll go with John McNeill, a reserve hooker signed from Featherstone Rovers,in the 1980's IIRC, his claim to fame was nothing to do with his playing exploits.
He did,however, steal a full sized steamroller and proceeded to run amok with it 
Anyone remember him ? played about twice for the 1st team and yet his name always stuck with me |

Any one of the Friday Night Heroes under Norman Smith who played several seasons in the Alliance side but made less than a handful of first team appearances.
So the likes of Paul Worthy, Phil Turner, Martin Smithson, Martyn Rowse, Stuart Chick, David Nelson et al.

Nathan Picci.
In a dire season, in a dire team, he gave the most exciting 20 minute Leeds career I have ever seen.

Nah, Mick Shaw was a lightening fast hooker, and had a couple of good games.
Plus he was part of a corking gag in Open Rugby. We had both him and Mike Forshaw in our first team at the time, and when one was substitued for the other, the question 'who was subbed?' was asked. 'Forshaw For Shaw' came the reply.
My choice for obscure 'big name' (according to the YEP) signing is 'Chris Vasey'. Throughly useless.

Sean Miller, third choice hooker behind David Ward and a certain Mr Hethrington. Outragous permed mullet if my memory serves !

There's a proliferation of number nines coming to light in this thread, so...
Russell Sowden, understudy to David Ward.
Played the Challenge Cup game against Saints where Paul Gill picked up his career altering broken leg IIRC.

Alan Rathbone, GB international at the time he signed for Leeds IIRC.
Rumour has it he was incarcerated at HMP Haverigg near Barrow and played for their prison team in the Barrow & District local competition.
