Eric Grothe flying down the wing at Halifax and running over a prop forward who dared to get in his way. IMO the most under utilised signing we ever had and over the years we have had a few

In that season where they change the kick off rule, so if you scored, you kicked off, there was a game at Salford. They'd signed Phil Hassan from us, and every one of our kick-offs seemed to land in his arms, immediately followed by Adrian Morley knocking him out of his boots. Literally at one point, I think.

Fair play to Phil, he never gave up.

Cup game v Halifax with a collie running about the pitch for about an hour. Game interspersed with half-d attempts at catching it. Televised too, the modern fan who complains that the game's a laughing stock really has no idea of some of the depths it's seen. In fact, here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYXsroqcVqA Still, at least the playing surface was decent.

The game's changed and not always for the best....whatever happened to dogs running on the pitch??

I think the last one was at our final game at Watersheddings, one of the very first rounds of Super League in '96? I have a recollection that Buster the Bear dealt with it promptly.

I seem to remember a dog ( one of those vicious staffy types) running around post office road and scaring whoever was in possession of the ball sometime in the 90's. Another incident although not a "favourite"moment was some parachutist coming to grief on the stand wall at the Willows I think; fortunately he was ok.
There was also the fisticuffs with Craig Izzard v widnes some time in the 80's perhaps

There are some superb posts on here which have raised many a smile, so thanks to all who have contributed.

Few more:

- Jamie Peacock drop goal [iattempt[/i versus Cas at home 24-24 with one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen over Headingley for a rugby match.

- Getting absolutely soaked on the away terrace at Cas 2009, think when Sinfield kicked a last second penalty to win the match. Thunder and lightning added to the monsoon rain and seem to remember a large fire not too far from the ground too.

- Walking up the steps of the old St Michael's terrace 2000 and the club used to have almost 'celebrity greeters', I think. Remember seeing Willie Thorn, snooker fellow there. Loved that walk up to the top of the St Michael's end. You have the tall, tall trees, the slope would block your view of the pitch and you can hear the buzz of the ground, the South Stand and then at the top the ground just opens up to see this beautiful lush green pitch (or so it appeared at the time) - always means so much more to a young child on there first few times at the ground.

- Brett Mullins breaking his arm away to Cas in the cup 2001, could have been his debut.

- Iestyn Harris' return to Headingley and hammering them 40-12 or so when McGuire scored within 30 seconds. It was the same day Paul Radcliffe had her 'incident' in the Athens 2004 Olympics.

- Leeds 70-0 St Helens - as a 12 year old on the Western Terrace wall you're so close to the pitch. One thing that always stands out is a young lad looking only a couple of years older than me taking a scoot from dummy half and being held up by a few men over the try line. That young lad went on to have a decent career, his name being James Roby.

- Barrie Mac scoring into the old St Michael's end versus Wigan in the 70-0 rout 2005. Sure the parachuters came in before the game, opera man belting out his chords and a fairly even first 20 minute or so before it became a beating - seem to stand out the week before they got belted 75-0 by Saints in the cup.

- Leeds versus Wigan, play off semi finals, so bloody close, especially on those last two plays.

the parachutist at the willows was 1998,possibly 99. it was red hot I remember that much. we arrived as the coach arrived. the players went in and me and my mate grabbed a kit hamper and followed them in. once in the changing room we dumped the kit and got in free

Wally Lewis playing for Wakey at Headingley, think he got sent off. For some reason i was standing in the paddock that day instead of the south stand.

I remember that day - was on the train from London all going OK until we got to Wakefield and the train just stopped and didn't go any further. Missed the coach from Headingley had to get a train and taxi to the Willows.

This one is not about Leeds but having gone to almost every CC final at Wembley since 1980 the 1985 final between Wigan and Hull in 1985 is probably the best game I have ever seen and the game that really hooked me as a RL fan ever since Brett Kenny and Peter Sterling 2 of my favourite players ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3IbRSI1io

The Easter game at Hull in 2008(?), particularly the disallowed Ali try by Ganson. The rugby we played at that time was amazing. I think we hammered Bradford away, and Quins at home the week before.
