As a Leeds supporter since 1987, I confess to seeing this terrible failure
However, as decorated players go, David Young was potentially just as useless a convert. I was only about 14 when he signed for Leeds, but I do remember him being relatively schit, and he then went on to Salford or somewhere, before going back to RU I think! He was dreadful in league, a potentially worse convert than Gallagher, who was maybe unlucky after his spear tackle incident. He did score against the touring Aussies in '91 IIRC!
Rob Ackerman was a former British Lion as well that played for Leeds. He didn't tear up many trees either. But he did look like the Incredible Hulk. Or David Banner. Was that his name before he went green?
