Thinking about it, some of my best rugby memories are associated with Headingley.

1970 When we qualified for my first Wembley by beating HKR.
1971 When I bunked off school and we ended Leeds' 50-odd match home unbeaten run.
1977 The Green Vigo hat trick.
1981 We had just come back up, were expected to be relegated and pulled off a big win.
1991? The culmination of the 4 games in 8 days Championship winning run.
2003 Danny Tickle drop, Carney 2 tries.
2006 The win after the salary cap deduction.

Go on guys, give us one today to join that lot.

I've only been Headingley once to watch a Leeds v Wigan game and I bet everyone can guess what game that was icon_surprised.gifops:

But I have seen Wigan win there, CC Sem-Final I think it was v Castleford?

slightly off topic but my earliest memory at Headingly a large yorkshire lady turning round to me and my firends who were about 13 at the time and telling us to shut up because we sounded like a "gaggle of geese". Twenty years on the phrase is still used to describe a rowdy situation icon_smile.gif

The Carney trys had to be the best memory for me.

They were 2 of the best i've seen and both in the same game.

The semi final knock outs in 2007 and 08 were a personal favourite of mine! icon_thumb.gif

Bobbie Goulding with his 3 drop goals was my first memory of Headingley, think that was one of my first away trips as a nipper. Since then I'll say the best moment is the Carney 2nd try closely followed by the Calderwood 2006 try.

My memory isn't great, but can anyone help me out. I'm sure we played a cup game and somebody got sent off early doors, might have been Colin Whitfield or Steve Hampson, but we still won?

Worst one was a 30 points tonking by castleford in the regal trophy final.

Didn't go the other year when Senior messed up big time and Bailey scored in the dying seconds., that was a classic.

Here's hoping to add a glorious memory tonight. Come on Wigan!

I remember standing on the terrace on the east side ages ago before the new stand was built with my dad and having a laugh with the Leeds fans. Andy Farrell threw a shocking forward pass and lost us the game.

Best memory was the 2003 play-off, what a game. Smith and Tez were massive for us in that game and people hardly ever give them credit. It's all about Faz, Tickle and Carney but those two were totally brilliant that day.

It was the hooker Nicky Kiss.

Green Vigo's 3 tries in a Regal Cup game plus the others already mentioned.

Those Carney tries were immense, as was the drop goal to take us to the final.

A not so pleasant memory was the 70-0 drubbing 5 years ago, with the 75-0 just the week after.
