2003. I remember at the time, our amazing late points rush was helped by it not being on TV, as it meant no video refs to slow our momentum.

Ellery scoring at Central Park in the CC semi and Andy Dannatt congratulating us on getting to Wembley...

To a chorus of 'Bobby beats his wife' (three lions tune) from the Southstand - referring to revelations in the papers earlier that week. That was a night with a fantastic atmosphere in the Southstand.



Another one to remember but for all the wrong reasons was the Premiership semi-final against Hull - where John Gallagher bottled catching the bomb right at the end and we lost the game from the resulting try.... I never forgave him for that, I was only a kid at the time, and had no understanding or sympathy for the hard time he was apparently having at Leeds, or for the after effects of the spear tackle - I just thought he was a spineless, gutless, ginger, Union pansy..... And that's being polite.

Bobby Goulding's missed goal is a good call. Even the North stand erupted after that.



Some others :



Beating Cas with an Academy side at Headingley, when Bluey was coach.



Danny Ward's drop goal.



Sinfield's touch line conversion to beat Warrington at Headingley in 2008(?)



Matt Diskin's try vs Wigan at Headingley in 2004. JJB scored 2 in that game IIRC.



Calderwood's try vs Wigan at the JJB from the 20m tap.

Garry Schofield's debut vs Auckland as I suddenly realised what Leeds would look like with a world class centre. Also his intercept try vs Cas in the Yorks Cup Final. I wish I could see that again for the first time because he literally charged onto the pass at full speed as though he was an attacking player and so was out of view when the pass was made. The only similar moment since in terms of surprise was McGuire's try in the WCC vs Canterbury.



That Wigan game 94/95 was one of the best I've seen for pure entertainment and the result.



Against us, Martin Offiah scoring a try for Widnes rounding players on the outside as though they weren't there. I'd never seen pure speed like that before. Also Henderson Gill in the first game I watched had me (and the Leeds defence) mesmerised, and in the same year Des Drummond destroying us and terrifying the defence every time he got the ball in the year they were Champions.

Yep, amazing scenes then pitch invasion and chair lifting him off like an emperor at the end!

I had my leg in a full cast after breaking my knee, watched the game in telly then my mates carried me to the pub. After that it got very, very messy

.

What is this ? A happy thread on Southstander, and one that's not been derailed by the usual "may Dad is bigger than your Dad" stuff we see.....surely my eyes deceive me !!







Des Drummond's "touch down" try in the JP Trophy Semi Final at Fartown....how it was awarded i will never know (I think that won the BBC's try of the season too).



Think GCH mentioned the Schoey try at Castleford after being sin binned, I've never seen a set of fans go so mad when he scored.



2003, we were right in line with Sinny's kick behind the posts, and the moment it left his boot it was over.



My first real hero in Blue and Amber, ET, how he used to just glide across the pitch was amazing to see.



24-24 v Hill KR in the CC Semi Final, how we didn't win that game I will never know, especially as they were down to 12 men.



Scott Donald's try against Saints in the GF 2007, it gave me goosebumps and I was crying like a baby at how excited I was when he scored.



There are so many more....I could be here all day

oooh, sounds nasty. did you get that from playing? few beers would have numbed the pain i guess

I'll admit I wasn't confident. Easy to forget after what he did in later years but his kicking back then in 2003 wasn't as good/consistent. Just looking at the video you can see a clear difference in his technique.



Another Sinfield moment. The Tansey Magic weekend try is often talked about but my abiding memory is of Sinfield out of nowhere busting out a cartwheel in celebration.....god knows where that came from

1978 CC quarter final v Bradford Northern. John Atkinson leaving defenders for dead down the north stand side. Official attendance of 18k though I reckon there were more present than the subsequent GB v Aus test where the crowd was given as 32k. Atkinson's tries, and the one in the 7-2 semi final win against saints the previous year, made me a fan for life.



The .

I didn't think he would land it at the time. Took a tremendous amount of bottle, and character which we obviously came to see time and again down the years but it wasn't so evident up until this point. Must have been a real sinking feeling for the Saints players behind the sticks who i would guess thought he would miss too!
