he did bring sinfield in as well - forgot goodway in list of dodgy lancastrians

Is that Lancastrians with a silent W?

they certainly don't apart from the context of being inadequate replacements for roy

where were you on the medley / dixon debate , guessing a dixon fan --also good in the 1990 test , played above his weight but medley had the touchline tries returning kick offs

Medley was that era for Leeds in a nutshell. Could do some sensational things but had no heart and when things got tough was nowhere to be seen. He would make 3 tackles from marker and then do zilch for an hour. Soft but he could score from 60m and make an impact from bench too. Not exactly a grafter wasnt the lad tho.

Dixon was a much better player than Medley in my opinion but they was totally different players. Dixon had heart and fight. He played mainly at prop while Medley was a wide running 2nd rower and an even wider running defender.

Medley had Box Office, but also taught Leon Pryce all he knows about hide and seek. Dixon on the other hand used to lamp his cows if they we’re misbehaving. Totally different creatures.

Dave Heron was my favourite Leeds player from that era.

as a player to watch would pick ahead of sinfield but the fallow years may
stop him getting in hall of fame

Heron was crying out for a pack with some enforcers in it. Remember him doing OK at six too. On a slightly different note I think Craig Izzard (sadly briefly) made the biggest instant impression of any of our imported forwards. He was a belter.

It really frustrates me that the club don't have the finger on the pulse of what fans would like to see - at least Stuart Duffy knew enough about Leeds to get some of the retro stuff, albeit he was lacking in other areas.

Get Craig Izzard on a plane over here, announce he's going to stand in front of the South Stand for ten minutes and you'd have the place full of people come to hero worship!

This is also the reason why I still can't see that Phil Ford-Offiah tackle on Youtube, one of the most talked-about Leeds moments of the entire decade!

One of my favourite Izzard appearances was at Salford, when he wasn't playing, but was responsible for bringing and removing the kicking tee.

Everytime he came on the pitch, he got a fantastic reception. By the end, he looked a bit embarrassed.

Also Morley, Goodway was past his best but he he was not a dodgy Lancastrian, he comes from Cas.
