| Quote: Swarcliffe Rhino "Not at all. To stand in quiet contimplation surrounded by fans all paying their quiet respect to a true giant of the game is phenominal. To hear the flags cracking in the wind on top of the southstand and the sounds of the city in the background is fantastic. Then the wall of noise when the whistle goes to banish the silence, is just frankly amazing.'"
 Exactly the way it should be a time for quiet reflection |

On friday, i will reflect on my memories of John Holmes
"The Man" during the one minutes silence
I will then have to clap, because IMO that is a true reflection of John Holmes "The Player"

| Quote: Swarcliffe Rhino "Got to agree withnotion of the minutes silence then miniutes applause.'"
Followed by another minute of 'Theres only one John Holmes' or similar after the applause ...
Could we make the minute's silence even more respectful / apprecative by a 'carpet' of scarves being raised aloft across the South Stand ? |

Who is gonna speak to the band ? Get them to play a slow 'There was only one John Holmes' after the silence .
That and the scarves would be a top tribute in my opinion .

I don’t believe there is a better way to respect a player, especially one of Johns calibre, than with a minutes silence.

| Quote: The Biffs Back "Wouldn't it be the ultimate mark of respect for John Holmes and his family if the one minutes silence was observed impeccably
But as soon as the whistle was blown to end this one minutes silence, that the whole ground started clapping for a further minute?
This IMO would be the ideal way to show the utmost respect for the ultimate Leeds player of all time
John Holmes was clapped throughout his career, what a way to send him off!'"
I'd prefer a chant of there's only one John Holmes |

One of the greatest players I have seen wearing the blue and amber should be remembered in the traditional way - minutes silence please.

As will I but it should really be a good 5 minutes to do my memories of him justice! |
