The best passer of a ball bar none. Probably my first sporting hero, along with Dyl and Atkinson.
Very sad news. RIP John.

I echo those thoughts, from all at Wakefield. |

Sad news. RIP
A truely class player.
He won you the 1978 Challenge Cup Final with his passing in the second half.
At one time I think he held the record for most points by a GB player in an international (against NZ in 1972 World Cup).
As a youngster I use to think he looked like John Alderton off Please Sir.

Rest in peace John. Was not privelleged enough to see you play in the flesh, just slightly before my time, but your deeds and actions will allways be remebered by those who did get to see you play in the blue and amber and im sure the whole of the rugby league family will mourn you for the great that you were and still are.

Despite never getting to see this player live he entertained a generation of Leeds fans. A sad day for the club whole round. My sympathies goes to his acquaintances, friends and family.
Thanks for your effort John.
RIP

I watched the great man throughout his career and can only echo much of what's been said - an outstanding and gifted player both in attack and defense and as tough as teak taking more punishment off the ball than any player I have ever seen.
Way too young to pass away - RIP John Holmes, condolences to family and friends
So dies a part of my youth

An absolute legend has passed away.
John Holmes was silky smooth who took his fair share of abuse from the opposition who stopped his play at any cost. We could tell when they had got him as he started to pass the ball sooner.
A real credit to the Leeds Rhinos in a fitting tribute on the website.
Thanks for the memories John - we'll never forget you
