Danny McGuire has been a fantastic player and ambassador for our club
I have been privileged watching Danny progress at the club from when he initially joined as a youngster and played in our academy sides, right through to the Glory years that subsequently followed.
Danny played vital parts in all of our successes since his unforgettable cameo role in the Challenge Cup semi final extra time win v Saints in 2003
Danny will be remembered as a true legend of our great club and his name will be engraved in the fabric of our club forever more
I posted this back in 2014 when Danny's integrity was called into question from a Wigan fan

My niece suffers from a mild form of downs syndrome and had to spend her early years at the Hawthorn Family Support Centre, which is situated in Danny's back yard of East End Park Leeds, and each time i paid a visit there Danny was always in attendance giving his spare time up for free, I believe that he is a patron of this worthy cause at Leeds Mencap
During the time i spent there i can honestly say that i was humbled being in Danny's company and with how much of his free time that he freely gave up supporting these under privileged kids, so much so that i even pretended not to know who he was and that i also never let on that i was a Rhinos fan whilst i was chatting to him, However a couple of weeks later and whilst i was in the long bar after a game Danny only came up to me and asked me by name how my niece was doing'"
Danny will be remembered by most as a legend of our club but he will be remembered by me as an even better person for the services he has undertaken to help the under privileged kids without shouting about it from the rooftops
Respect Danny you've certainly earned it
