Long memories abound. I think most were aggrieved by the way his move was "engineered", while on tour down under with GB, with Maurice Bamford said to have been coaxing him to ask for a move to Leeds. Of course, he was a phenomenal player, for both clubs and his debut season was sensational, as he bagged well over 30 tries. I actually like him, he doesn't shy away from painful conversations and is blunt when he is asked a question, sometimes too much, but never PC for the sake of it, like some.

If you can’t take the word of supporters who were around at the time and experienced Schofield’s vitriol, then go ahead with your conspiracy theories 
As Wilf has already alluded to, Lee Crooks had to be forcibly removed from The Boulevard, kicking and screaming but don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Oh and by the way, it was Lee who got hold of Casey when he had Pearce up against the changing room walls at half time, and probably led to Lee’s demise!!!! |

I was around at the time, thanks, I just don't live in the past like some others.
Hilarious that you accuse people of conspiracy theories then post your own

I remember Crooksy was very upset to leave Hull, he literally lived for the club and never settled or produced his best at Leeds.
I'd heard similar about him and Casey but as always, it was never officially announced that it had happened and I thought it was probably just a story that had been added to over time, although I hated Casey as coach, despite him being a previous player for us, my memories of him were as a Rovers hardman, who was in reality, a cheap shot merchant and never squared up to the real hardmen of the game at that time, Fred Ah Kuoi actually gave him a good one when Casey was sent off and pushed the touch judge, ruining his chance of captaining GB down under if memory serves me well.

No conspiracy theory, horses mouth. The incident led to Casey’s sacking, he went on to run a b&b in Cumbria after vacating The Buccaneer in Brough.

Schofield was a prolific try scorer.
Yes he did come on late in that 1985 Cup Final and missed 2 or 3 conversions from our late flurry of tries. Not easy kicks, but Marc Sneyd would have kicked them all in his sleep (Crooks/Schofield missed five kicks between them that day!) Therefore, Schofield could have still changed the game in our favour. |
