I met him on a get together my dads mate organised a while ago in Korks Otley. Can’t too remember his name but I’m sure someone on here will. Probably a good thread to list down the people you recognise as well (G1 probably just about everyone

).

It's 'big' Roy Dickinson ....

To be honest, Roy looks little different from his appearance in the '78 Cup Final !

Another top bloke with some great stories to tell

DJ from my 21st who is the regular in the Angel was on the pitch last night?????

Closest to the South Stand included :

Roy Dickinson - Forward sub for Leeds at Wembley in '78

Mick Harrison - Prop for Leeds in '78

Steve Pitchford - Lance Todd winner in '77

Also further along the line was :

Neil Fox - Wakefield great and holder of some phenominal scoring records himself.

Lewis Jones - Leeds legend and world record holder

David Ward - Leeds captain in '77 and '78 at Wembley

Harry Jepson - El Presidente

Stuart Duffy - Leeds fan and media guru at Odsal

Kevin Dick - Leeds scrum half for many years, sub at Wembley in '78 and a winner in '77

I'll have to watch the Sky Sports coverage again to get some more down.

That’s the one

He wasn’t the tallest that night - the barman must have been 10ft 8






I probably didn’t stay that long to hear them because me and my dad had a 40th to attend. Had a chat about Great Britain’s performances the day before (I think it was 2003).

Either way a top bloke like you said

How could I forget Graham Eccles leading the line out, closest to the South Stand ?

Played for Leeds at Wembley twice in the 70s and runs the Social Club in the South Stand car park.

Search WOODDDDDDDYARHINOS on that infamous video sharing site where I hit myself with a brick

Colin Maskill aswell.

David Ward looked devasted coming off the pitch.

lovely peice by Stuart Duffy in the programme.

I’ve got to go now but if AdmiralHanson writes a left to right who’s who of the players then I’d be more than willing to put faces to each name when I come back so you can point him out. Unless someone else wants to..

Picked out as well as those mentioned Barry Seabourne Lewis Jones Kevin Dick

Nice to see Johnny Whiteley and Phil Lowe out on the pitch too.

Puts a little bit of faith back in the city of Hull.


Wardy was in tears when he came off.

Very humbling occasion.

Had tears in my eyes last night.

Met many of those blokes at the ex-players dinners. Great blokes they are too.

Walking up to the oak for a pint before the game and ran into "The bionic barrell" himself. He a big fella that one

It was a very emotional moment, and one fitting as a send off for a great. As I said to one fellow fan last night, I don't know if Wardy was holding Harry Jepson up, or if it was the other way around.

It's the fact that our game creates such a cameraderie between players, as could be seen during the sad scenes like last night, that really make our game stand out from the crowd.

Not only should we be proud of John Holmes and his achievements, but last night demonstrated that, with the attendance of John's peers from other clubs, we should be proud of our whole game.

I could have sworn I saw Gary H Price but I couldn't think of a connection.

He played for us under Fox didn't he?

I know there was a Gary Price who played for us (under Ward I thought) but for some reason last night I thought it was the other one who was there. Now I think about it, it was the one who played for us.



I'll just go back to bed now and sleep off my confusion.

Built tanks during the week ... Played like a tank at weekends !

That was Gary Price the former York second-rower.
Gary H. Price played for Wakfield and Fev.
They played together in the same team at Featherstone, hence the Gary 'H'. Price.

Thus, wasn't it the GH Price that played for Leeds .... Moving on to Wakey / Fav after leaving Headingley ?

Dave & wayne heron
sean miller
atky
dave heselwood
trevor skerrett
graham idle (played for everyone apart from leeds)
Barry Simms

Wayne Heron was one of my favourite players for Batley growing up, although he wasn't a patch on his brother. Loads of hard-work and a great tackler though.
We only managed to sign Dave from Bradford Northern when he was about 37, but he was still the best player on the pitch in most games he played for us.


There aren't many players around today that have even half the skill Dave possessed.

Dave was a 'top of the ground player' would have exelled in todays game, the aussie contingent of his time all rated him.
