Quote: doc-rhino "decent crop of 1st teamers in that photo for a friendly unlike the present. '"


In those days the pre-season friendly (limited to one or perhaps two at the most) probably had more relevance to the plethera of friendlies to be had these days from boxing day onwards to the start of the campaign proper.

That game at Bramley was the first time the teams had played under the new 6th tackle/handover rule. With Holdsworth twice ordering scrum-downs before being reminded of the new rules by the players and the majority of the crowd.

Pass.

Suppose i'd better have a go...

1st game I saw was Leeds vs Australia in 94 I believe. Night time game with 22k in. As a 10 year old it was amazing and we had the Wigan team sat in front of us. I remember walking up the cricket stand and then just seeing this floodlit heaven in front of me as we walked into the North stand. Id never seen grass as green as it looked that night.

Not sure on the import front. Lauitiiti runs close but I loved Iro as a kid even though he was only at Leeds for a couple of seasons from when I started watching.

As I have only been a Leeds fan 16 years I suppose Central Park has to be the ground I enjoyed going to thats no longer around.

The first team training with Oulton Raiders in the summer of 86 at Rothwell Sports Centre.

Getting Peter Fox to sign my autograph book. He signed it "All the best, Peter G Fox"

When I asked him what the G stood for he simply smiled and replied


"The Great young un,the Great!"

Classic!

It seems a bit strange that Powell didn't get more chances in 83-84. That game against Widnes was a classic - usual Widnes brutality aimed at Holmes and Webb but somehow we won.

Speaking of which here is 'Pele' in that game at McLaren Field (including the start of the YEP comment re-Powell's debut)https://www.fotothing.com/photos/ad3/ad335bc271226a1dc4158b343915302e_210.jpg" >
