Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.
And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg |

I'll always remember that game away at Saints when he came out of the A team and lead a makeshift team to victory. He just oozed class. RIP John, a true legend.

What a great player John was and, like David Topliss last year he has, gone at a relatively young age.
Condolences to his family & friends.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

At what must be a very difficult time for John's family, I hope they can take some small solace in the fact that through his playing career at least, John gave so much happiness to so many.
Leeds really must make some kind of permanent memorial to one of our all time greats.
God Bless, John.

| Quote: Richie Ramrod "Leeds all time great, in a time when World Class is banded about like confetti, I can safely say that in his case the phrase World Class didn't do him justice - he was considerably better than that.'"
Agree 100%. The most creative player I've seen in blue and amber and a pleasure to watch. |

| My all time favourite Leeds player and was lucky enough to see him play from the late 70s right until his final game for the Alliance team.

Very sad news. In my 50 years of supporting Leeds and watching the many stars over this period without doubt John was one of the very best. His vision and passing ability were outstanding and he was an unselfish player who had the rare ability to put his teammates into space and give them the glory.

Agree 100% Batley
There will no doubt be a tribute at next weeks game but I think it would be very fitting for a major song all around the ground of ''One John Holmes' at a point(s) in the game.
Hopefully John will be up there watching his beloved Loiners get through to the Grand Final |

Absolutely spot on comment
Terrible news this.
RIP John |

A fantastic player who was one of the best in the game, and simply oozed class when he was on the pitch.
It would be a fitting gesture when the Southstand is upgraded, to rename it in memory of this great Leeds player.
RIP John
