could've been a lot better imo

Hi Rogues yes I admire Bilko ,but they have VolumesI andII of The Headingley Story by the late Ken Dalby up to 1979.All it needs is to fill in the part up to start of SL

Except earlier you asked if they could expand their player statistics and the Headingley Story doesn't include any making less than ten appearances so hardly a complete record in that regard either.

As an example during the SL Era around 30 (not including players still current) of the 152 players to have represented Leeds would fail to gain an entry in a corresponding volume if published today.

Amassing a comprehensive player database could prove a huge task dependant on what form the information they hold is in.

yes but even the Headingley story thing would be a start

If not an 100% attempt then why bother?

What we appear to have at present is close to 0% prior to SL but perhaps there is work going on behind the scenes to correct that situation. I have to say though that the last attempt to introduce some historical player recognition - the unique player numbers on the basis of making 10 appearances - was IMO embarrasing for a club with such a long and proud history. Warrington last season showed how that particular scheme should be done - every 1st grade player recognised and the number stitched into the current squad's shirts - I'm not surprised Leeds' attempt has been conspicuous only by it's absence.

You'd hope all the individual game records exist in some form or other up at Headingley. A first step might be to compile all the end of season player stats (if they survive intact) into one. That should at least pick up all the individual players and provide cumulative totals, including all those players making less than 10 appearances.

You've got it as usual and they did say they are trying,
