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! |

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn, at the going down of the sun and in the morning – WE WILL REMEMBER THEM:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32481.gif |

I have just got in from work and seen the tragic news on BBC ceefax. I am at a loss - probably the same feeling I had when Billy Bremner passed away. The term legend is used too easily these days - John Holmes was not only a rugby league legend he was a true gentleman and had the time of day for anyone.
My condolences to John's family at this very sad time.
God bless you John and thank you for the happy memories that you have left behind.

When you consider the contribution made whether its statistical or the intangibles of a great character then for me that needs respecting in the TRADITIONAL way first and foremost.That demonstrates our feelings towards his memory AND towards his family(who MAY be present).They are first and foremost.
I would then happily join in spontaneous applause and displaying of our colours because he inititiated that so many times when on the pitch.
I do think the joy of what soemone brings to life should be remembered as well as the dismay at the passing.

I have no problem with a minute's applause, I quite like it in fact, but as a supplement to the minute's silence, not a substitute.

It would be nice should Leeds be successful in reaching the Grand Final if the shirts for the occasion could bear some sort of logo or design in memory of possibly the club's greatest ever player.
Maybe a number six and his name, in the same way the Barrie McDermott testimonial season shirts had a design on the sleeve?

Could we make the minute's silence even more respectful / apprecative by a 'carpet' of scarves being raised aloft across the South Stand ?'"
Wasn't able to post a photo where I was last night, but something like this during the silence ?
(With Leeds scarves, not Celtic ones of course ....) |

| Quote: Swarcliffe Rhino "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.'"
Enough said and very well put. |
