I think McLaren will be very interested!

It appears to be in aid of Damian Gibson's Testimonial (There are several other shirts in his other auctions also).

FWIW, while at Leeds:

All Games: Played 28 + 0 + 1 (NPS), 6 Tries, 24 Points

SL Reg Rds: Played 18 + 0 + 1 (NPS), 3 Tries, 12 Points

Challenge Cup: Played 4 + 0 + 0 (NPS), 1 Tries, 4 Points

Premiership: Played 2 + 0 + 0 (NPS), 0 Tries, 0 Points

World Club Championship: Played 4 + 0 + 0 (NPS), 2 Tries, 8 Points

He played just the one season at Headingley (1997) becoming the 43rd player to play for Leeds in the SL Era and was awarded the Leeds Player's Player Of The Season (?) at the annual awards. He famously took one of the the best shots Brian McDermott ever threw square on the jaw (in the CC-SF fracas '97) and never flinched.

Since leaving Leeds he has played against them 16 times but has had the decency to only cross for 2 tries in those games.

Correct Mr TVOC, I recall him being player of the season, and then surprisingly, he left. Can't remember who took over as full back though.

To begin with it was a a little rotund Welshman, (now to be found at Featherstone) with MSH from the bench.
