To pass the time on a long drive home from the south coast I thought of some Leeds RL trivia questions.

These are the ones I can remember.

Knock yourselves out.



There have been lots of Leeds players who have won caps for England, Australia, New Zealand and Wales, but how many players can you name who have won caps (before during or after their time at Headingley) for Ireland, Scotland, France, PNG, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga or the USA?

Which Leeds player of the 90s was once an officer in the Metropolitan Police?

Which 1990s forward was a keen apiarist?

Which 1990s winger was born in Wolverhampton and which winger of the last 10 years was born in London?

How many Leeds players can you name who have started games for the club wearing a scrum cap?

Which 1990s player was an accountant before joining the club?

For which rugby union club was Simon Irving playing when he signed for Leeds?

Can you name 2 Leeds wingers from the last 20 years who have been postmen outside the game - one before signing and one afterwards?

Which two forwards presented a show on Radio Headingley in the 1990s?

Which Leeds players, current and past, have won Grand Finals in Australia?

What is the name of the famous private school that Ewan Dowes attended?

For which amateur side did Rob Burrow play?

Matt Adamson’s brother was famously signed ‘by mistake’ for St Helens. Can you name 2 other brothers that have played for Leeds and St Helens?

Who was the first black player to play for the club?

Marcus Bai
Ali L
Wayne McDonald
Barrie Mac
Eric Anselme

Did Francis Cummins also play for Ireland. Darryl Powell coached Ireland.
Patrick Entat for France
Willie Poaching for Samoa (or was it Tonga)
Marcus Vasilikopolous for USA??

John Bentley

I'll try for one for each country,

Ireland - Barrie Mac. Scotland - ?. France - Eric Anselme. PNG - Marcus Bai. Cook Ilands - ?. Tonga - Willie Poching. Samoa - Ali Lautiti. USA. Marcus Vassikolopolous.

John Gallaghger

?

Fallon and Calderwood?

Richie Eyres

Neil Harmon

Schofield, afoerementioned Richie Eyres, Mike O'Neill, Rob Burrow, Keith Senior (?)

I want to say Fallon again.

Which time? The second time he was playing for keighley Cougars

OK, I know what you meant. Headingley.

No. I can't.

Harvie Howard and neil Harmon.

Adrian Morley. Harvey Howard. Marcus Bai. David Furner. Marc Glanville.

F' knows but if going there gets you between the sheets with Amy I am on my way.

cas panthers.

Sort of. The Lendils played for Leeds in the 1950/60s (?) and the Gibbons twins in the 1990s. No idea for Saints brothers tho.
Ooooh. Don't know.

Off the top of my head.....


Ireland - Barrie McDermott
Scotland - Wayne McDonald
France - Patrick Entat, Eric Anselme
PNG - Marcus Bai
Cook Island - Kevin Iro

Phil Adamson

Pure guesses in italics

Not the Met. West Yorks police. John Gallagher is the answer I reckon.

Furner
Bai
O'Neil
Jackson
Clyde?

I thought it was West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police Force?

Matt Gardner played for Leeds reserves I think, with Ade playing for Saints.

Did George Mann have a brother that played for Saints as well.

Not certain but don't think so.

[urlhttp://www.met.police.uk/[/url

Don't think so but Geroge Mann did play for Saints.

The 1990's player who was an accountant before joining the club could be a trick question - Gary Hetherington maybe?

Paul Medley

I also know the answer to several other questions.

I just can't remember them all at the moment

I think it was Sterling. Hetherington was a 1970's or 1980's player.

Need clarification from the quizmaster.

I take it you're bored as well

Thought Medley was a banker.

These are the ones that have been answered correctly thus far:


I've left out the 'as many as you can' answers as I don't have the definitive answers - I can think of a few more not mentioned though (and there have been some mentioned I hadn't considered).

Matt Adamson’s brother was famously signed ‘by mistake’ for St Helens. Can you name 2 other brothers that have played for Leeds and St Helens?

Eddie 'n' Kieron & the uphill brothers - Matt & Ade.

I have tonnes of work to do but on the 1st day back from time off you have to ease into it.



BTW, clarification received.



Anyone remember when Luke Leaner used to do his Monday morning music quiz either on the old Rivals site (or was it the official message board)?

Certainly was.

And he worked in a bank.

Didn't sheridan & barnhill play for ireland at the world cup in 2000, and Harris for wales.

McDonald played for Scotalnd too, not sure if its been metioned already (too lazy to check)

was the first player player Roy Francis?

I think Dowes went to Sedbergh School as did Will Carling, Rob Andrew went to Barnard Castle.
