| First game i attended was a Warrington Bradford game at HQ in late 70's think it was a JP trophy final, first rhinos game was against Wigan i think in 1987 when Schoey scored four tries.
Best overseas import would have to be Cliff Lyons but honourable mentions to ET and Brad Godden
I used to like Central park if only for the moment Ellery scored to send us to wembley in 1994

| Although I've always been a Bradford fan here's my two penneth.
First game at Headingley was a 12-4 win for Northern in 1986 with one Terry Holmes scoring a second half winner at the old scoreboard end.
The overseas player I most admired/feared at Leeds was Cliff Lyons.
I miss Thrum Hall, even thought the cesspits at the Jorvik Museum were cleaner.

| First game Leeds -v- Australia 1986. We lost 44-0
Fave all time import: Brad Godden, because anyone who played outside him was elevated beyond their usual standard.
Fave long gone away ground: Wilderspool. As much as I like the new ground and it's location, the atmosphere you could get going at the old ground was fantastic.

| Boxing Day 1998 when Wendell Sailor played was my first ever match. I’m currently writing up a short story of my experiences surrounding that day.
I went home at half time because it was cold

| Leeds v Wakefield Trinity ' watersplash' final at Wembley 1968, not a bad introduction to our great game !
import- difficult to choose, E.T. I suppose
grounds, loved all the old grounds, Watersheddings on a freezing cold evening, Central Park,Fartown,Wheldon Road for an evening derby game when you just knew Syd Hynes would get sent off !

| Leeds v Hull KR, Jan 1st 1976 in the snow.
ET probably my fave import.
Favourite defunct ground could well be Watersheddings, if only for the context it provides when folk try to tell me that Odsal can be chilly.

Thats the moment that the aforementioned strange man kissed me
There was a lot of pent-up passion in that kiss, I just don't think that I was his intended target though.

| Oldham away September 4th 1988
Import predictably ET but , Glanville, what a man.
I don't know why but the hilarity of Tattersfields cpacity expanding as the concrete went off, then a few pints in the workies under the stands, Audley Pennant charging about , happy days.

| 1964 on Saturday afternoon with my younger brother we sneeked in throught a loose panel in the ginnel along side the Western Terrace...when it had a wooden picket fence at the front.
Leeds where getting beat with about 5 minutes to go when Leeds scored to pull the game out of the fire...nothing changes much
Fav Import Dave Furner
Station Road when Atkinson rounded Billy Boston with an in and out swerve to send us the Wembley 1968 IIRC

| Away at Salford, sometime during the 82-83 season (I think - might have been the season before though). First proper memory is a cup semi against Widnes (at Swinton?), getting literally picked up and carried by the crowd pouring out of the stadium. Favourite import probably ET, he was the first out and out "hero" player I had. Tony Currie, at a similar time, was great too. I have no pleasant memories of going to Central Park (was typoically down south for the weekend the one time we had a moment of glory there!), but I do miss it.
