| Gary Schofield moments stick in the memory. Playing against Halifax, he made a break down the left infront of the South Stand and Jon Bentley came across to cover. Bentos smiled at him and held out a hand offering Schoey the outside. Schoey slowed right down, drew Bentley in and then kicked through perfectly for the young Franny Cummins to shoot past Bentley, collect and score. Even Bentos laughed.
Second was an away game at the Boulevard (JP trophy I think), and Schoey got the worst abuse from a crowd I've ever heard (Sam Tomkins would have cried his eyes out). Last laugh though went to Schoey, not only did he play great but finished Hull off with an interception bang on our try line to go the full length. I was at the end in the corner where he scored and I'm sure he must have seen us right by the wall waving him in. Great moment.

| Sinfield receiving the kick off waiting for the defensive line to get a bit closer then booting the ball all the way back up the other end of the field for a kick chase. It didn't work but was an interesting ploy.

| In 2003 we had been going to more and more matches and this is the moment when I realised I was absolutely hooked and from 2004 have been a season ticket holder.

Watch from 7:49. When Dunneman put the kick through for Danny to chase the South Stand around me went absolutely nuts and the noise and excitement was just amazing. (Watching it back though I can't believe Kev missed the kick!)

wasn't he pointing to the touchline trying to say 'you're off into touch pal'....
either way a great moment. Brains won that day.

| Danny Ward drop goal away at Hull FC.
Think at time put us 12- 1 behind? In a game we ended up winning by maybe a point?

| Matt Adamson try celebration, when he did the cricket bowling swing, to the fear of all the fans in front of him in the corner of the North and West stands!

It was 2001. Leeds went to the dreaded Boulevard with little expectation fielding a young side with a bench of Calderwood, Diskin, Netherton (Debut), Ward. The Ward drop goal (21st birthday present to himself) was in the first minute of the second half when he picked up a rebound from a Burrow short kick and slotted it over for reasons best known to himself. Leeds had barely threatened the Hull half let alone line to this point and that made the score 6 - 1 to Hull. Yet Leeds strangely never looked back and ran out 6-15 winners.

| The Hull away game which was 0-0 at half time - McGuire made a run in the second half that had even Tony Smith speechless at its brilliance

Knew you would be along soon enough to clarify!

| Quote Lawrie L="Lawrie L"
Adrian Morley not double moving to score the late winning try against Saints in 2000 Challenge Cup
'"
My first ever game! Sat on the wall on the South-Western terrace, that wall has just been knocked down now and as you will remember that was where Morley scored right in the corner. I was only 8 or so and perhaps you will remember better than me, wasn't it scored in the 84th minute or so? Seem to remember Harris missing a drop goal and hobbling about. Sean Long scoring and converting his try wide out to make it even terms on about the 78th minute and I don't think he missed a kick including a penalty shot from 40 metres out to the western terrace. The noise when Morley scored will always stick with me.
Also, a few years on from that remember on a bitterly cold night Leeds versus Penrith academy at Headingley. Seem to recall a young lad had a fitness test just doing laps around the pitch and overhearing one of the coaches say he won't be playing anyway...
Think it was close and seem to recall the Panther's winning. Wrote the players' names down and tracked their careers since, Lachlan Coote, Wade Graham, Sam McKendry and Tim Glasby have all gone on to have good first grade careers. For us Luke Gale, Ben Jones-Bishop and Ryan Hall have done alright for themselves.
Springs to mind getting the coach across to Wigan, summer of 2004, could have been the game Farrell broke his nose. Remember being on the coach looking out the window and seeing Ali Lautiiti signing autographs, having pictures with fans. It was one of the first times I had seen a player up fairly close and remember being ataken back by the size of him - pretty sure he scored that day and it felt when he first came with the exception of his debut he seemed to score in every game for 7 in a row.
Remember also Chris Feather with probably the best run of his career versus Bradford in April 2004 and slamming over to put us out of touch and wrap the game up. Think it was the first time we had beaten them for nearly two years. McGuire scored from a scrum, first receiver dummy and go, Marcus Bai also got one with a finger-tip grounding which the video ref appeared to look at for ages. Remember Deacon kicking over the top for Vaikona (i think) to score late on to give them a chance.
Also Sal, that 0-0 game, seem to remember it being one of the best opening 40 minutes of rugby? Gorgeous evening and exceptionally good defence, how it stayed 0-0 was beyond me.

I'm in a similar position to you that 2003 was the year that I started going to more and more matches. Love that video, and McGuire's try at the end, if it had played on as opposed to being cut to the video ref when they're celebrating, you may have seen a 12 year old me celebrating with the players.
Remember there being a half break and the ball seemed to be in the air of Dunneman's foot for an eternity, even longer for McGuire to get there and pick it up before plonking it over. Didn't think anything of it at the time and looking back it now - he would have been 20 at the time of that game - how good is that pick up, at pace?
Quote Rhino at work="Ex-Swarcliffe Rhino"icon_lol.gif
When we came out of the ground, heading back from the coach there was a Wildcats fan absolutely mortalled, shirt buttons ripped open being held up by his very overdressed other half, completed with strap heels dragging behind her, make up ruined and this guy just absolutely in tears, hardly unable to stand. He must have promised her a great night out or something and instead taken her to the rugby.
When he caught sight of me and my brother in Leeds colours he just completely and utterly lost it, the level of anguish and rage pent up was amazing, f'ing and blinding "YOU!! YOU'VE DONE THIS TO ME! I 'ATE LEEDS!! ITS ALWAYS F'ING LEEEEEEEDS!! WHY CANT WE BEAT EM!"
We respectfully of course burst out laughing, then his Mrs chipped in "'E were appy!! we were winning! 'e was gonna take me out to celebrate!! now look what youve done!!! youve ruined me larfe!!" Then he fell in a heap and we made our exit swiftly into the night.
Always stuck with me that.
'"
Quote Rhino at work="Him"The 2003 cup semi final was just amazing. Still the best game of any sport I've ever seen.'"
Now, easy to say 13 years (crazy it is that long ago) on and for those watching and those even who were there, who realistically expected him to land the kick?

| Rob burrow's debut/home debut. Think it was at home to Hull in 2001, I think we lost the game. Remember seeing this tiny player come onto the field, never seen a rugby player so small and at the time i thought he looked funny. But then he ran rings round the hull defence to score 2 tries and kicked some touchline conversions, i remember thinking geez this kid is hot sh*t. They'll never be a another player like him. 2011 GF was his crowning moment.
