Any sign of them uploading the Phil Ford tackle yet? One of Headingley's most iconic moments.

I was stood in exactly the same spot on the Eastern Terrace when "The Rubber Man" chased Offiah down and nailed him
Everyone in the stadium at the time couldn't believe what they had seen and tbf it was a rare occasion when any player got the better of Offiah in full gallop

Irrespective of Offiah's loss in that sprint race with Lee Oudenryne prior to the game in 1992 V Parramatta he is still the fastest RL player that I have ever seen live

At the time (2002-2004) Dunneman was superior in all around game to Burrow and McGuire. He also filled in brilliantly at 9 when we lost Diskin in 2005. I still am convinced that if Joe Vagana had not fallen on Senior's leg in the home league game- basically ending his season (even though he "played" in the CC final) we would have won everything in 2005 and Dunneman would have been a key part of that. We played the best rugby I've seen from a Leeds team and were so close in everything (and let's not forget the Bulls salary cap breach that year and Adrian Morley appearing for their playoff games).

Great post. Agree

That 2005 team was immense, peak Tony Smith and the best rugby I've seen them play. Because they never won anything that season it's definitely been lost to history

I was on that terrace as well that night, Gorley hit Roy 3 or 4 times, big Roy crouched down protecting himself and launched an upper cut from about a foot off the ground. Gorley was covered in blood and his legs had gone, I remember both being sent off big Roy ran past us up the slope into the old changing rooms with a daft grin on his face. It took 2 small Widnes trainers forever to get gorley off as he could not support himself. He got dogs abuse from the terrace.. reckon it was around sept 1983.
That’s how I remember it anyway,
