Quote: tvoc "John Carroll broke his leg (compound fracture ala Chev Walker) at the Recreation Ground, 28th March 1982. It was during a regular league fixture which Leeds went on to win 27 - 12
John Carroll's next 1st grade outing for Leeds was two seasons later on the 25th September 1983. Again it was a regular league fixture against Whitehaven, this time Leeds prevailing 48 - 8 at Headingley.
He would play in the following two fixtures V Hull and Castleford respectively but they were to be his final outings for the club (not withstanding a non playing substitute 'appearance' V Hull KR in November 1983.)'"
Gosh was it really that long ago. I also remember John Holmes dropping to loose forward at some point during his latter years: when was that exactly and how many games there ?
