GSAL,formally LGS,was always a RU playing School,but now RU is limited to the first term and football is played in the second term - previously always RU.Frankly,they are good at most sports,including golf - Colin Montgomery attended for his last 2 yrs - squah,ski ing,basketball,athletics,swimming etc.
Mike Lamb,was a former Headboy and subsequently P.E./geography Master,who played RU for Yorks and turned to RL with Leeds in the mid 70's.He went on to play for Bradford Northern at Wembley.Unfortunately,he died around 10yrs ago.Andrew Staniland was a former pupil in the mid 70's who played for both Headingley and Roundhay,before turning to Leeds RL late on - his father Arthur,used to play for Bramley.David Caplan,the full England RU full back of the early 80's,was also a pupil and was offered the chance to turn pro with Leeds RL,but stuck with RU.
