Ah but you did say Bradford NORTHERN mate.

Calm down chaps! It was a tongue in cheek wouldn't expect you to vote for it





For the record my first match was back in 1975 so I'm a died in the wool NORTHERN man





As it goes the try Franny Cummins scored against us (on his debut??) at Headingley in the Challenge Cup wasn't a bad one. Went through our line like a knife through butter and scored from about 90 metres!

I don't know if it was his debut, but it was certainly very early on in his career.



If you ever get chance, watch that game with Stuart Duffy's commentary, from back when he was Leeds through and through. It's fantastic.

How the tide has turned eh!

Oh aye, thats a good un.

It was in his debut season (1993/94) but it was during his 16th 1st grade Leeds appearance scoring his 11th and quite possibly finest try for the club.



Not many players who enjoy a 355 game club career score their most memorable try/hit their peak at 17.

Re the best try scored at Headingley - I would find the question impossible to answer given the many hundreds seen and the varied factors to consider when deciding on what represents 'best'. For me a try scored in a meaningless friendly - no matter how fantastic - would not make it on to any potential short-list.



So just to be different my favourite Headingley try was one that was disallowed. It was during the 1st league game of the 1980/81 season V the mighty Hull. Dave Heron had mesmorised the Hull defence with a combination of speed and evasion over 60 yards you had to see to believe - unfortunately for Leeds Graham Eccles and Trevor Skerrett were having an exchange of views way back downfield and having initially awarded the try it was eventually ruled out in favour of a double sending off.

I probably need a bit of help here as it is from when I was younger and I can't remember the year or opposition but I seem to recall craig Innes scoring a try I enjoyed down the south stand end.

Ouch

So not a try then? i.e. your favourite non-try

A bit harsh, TVOC. I thought he hit his peak when he played outside Brad Godden.



But then, so did a lot of wingers at our club.

TVOC, was the Cummins debut a two try affair V HKR? I seem to remember both him and Holroyd scoring two tries on their debuts, but obviously in different games. Oh and wasn't one of the Holroyd tries scored with only one boot on from about 30 yards out?

It was, 2 tries from the bench and a nicely posed photo at the final whistle featuring the 4 Leeds youngsters (Cummins, Holroyd, Cook and Vassilakopoulos) given their wings by Doug Laughton.







It was. V Sheffield (6 months prior to Cummins during the season before), filling in for Schofield who was away on International duty in France IIRC. The one boot scoot to the South Stand/Western Terrace corner following an interception.



Redundant at last.
