| Quote tvoc="tvoc"Yes that's entirely correct ............. you've just made that up.
Holroyd has never scored two tries in any match V Bradford (Northern or Bulls) while playing for Leeds.
__________
Holroyd did however play in 4 Challenge Cup fixtures for Leeds V Bradford over 4 consecutive years:
27-02-94 ..... Leeds 33 Bradford 10 ..... Stand Off ..... 1 Try, 4 Goals, 1 Drop Goal
12-02-95 ..... Leeds 31 Bradford 14 ..... Scrum Half ..... 1 Try, 5 Goals
23-03-96 ..... Leeds 6 Bradford 28 ..... Scrum Half ..... 1 Goal
29-03-97 ..... Leeds 10 Bradford 24 ..... Scrum Half ..... 1 Goal'"
Haha thanks for that. This will be the one, was this his first start at scrum half (seems unlikely but that what I vaguely remember from the announcer)

| Your 'seems unlikely' is correct again. The Bradford cup-tie was Holroyd's 11th consecutive start at scrum-half that season after replacing Patrick Entat in the number 7 shirt.
It was the first time Holroyd had started at scrum-half in the Challenge Cup but not sure why the announcer would be bigging that up.

Oops, wrong again.
No idea why he would be bigging that up. More than likely I am merging together 2 random memories. In my defence I was only 9

| Quote tvoc="tvoc"I thought Leeds were right back in it for the first one of those after Fallon and Schofield's two try in three minute burst near the start of the 2nd half. For the next 10 mins we were all over 'em until you know who scored Wembley's greatest ever try. After that we were gone.
Holroyd also played in the inaugural Grand Final in another game Leeds were marginally ousted by Wigan after a titanic battle.'"
You are probably right. I did, to be fair, remember that final quite fondly, not least because it was my first Wembley visit. The next year I thought Leeds promised more and delivered less. Offiah's try remains a great "I was there when..." moment.
I'd forgotten Holroyd was still around in the '98 final. That was a tremendous game. Another superb winger's try won it for Wigan, in very different conditions. I recall feeling a little frustrated at the marker defence though.

| The Cummins try was from a scrum IIRC, he broke through and went 75M to score under the sticks at the Carnegie Stand end. I was stood there at the time.
That was the same game the cruel Leeds fans told Mr Newlove that his taxi was here every time a plane flew over, in reference to his fear of flying?

Didn't Holroyd give away a late penalty that Farrell converted?

It was Holroyd that dropped the ball with an overlap on Leeds last attacking play of the '98 GF IIRC.

Both stretching my memory a bit too far I'm afraid. Could be though. If you;re both right it wasn't the best few minutes of his career was it?

| In fact, thinking about it, it might have been one and the same movement. Knocked the ball on and then clouted someone round the head when trying to retrieve it?

| Quote tvoc="tvoc"That depends how old you were (in comparison to 17 years 139 days) on the 7th March 1993 when Graham Holroyd made his Leeds 1st grade debut from the bench V Sheffield Eagles at Headingley?
The debut featuring a two try performance including the one Holroyd scored with only one boot on:

Did he come on and score from the centre position on his debut?
