Top 5 :
2004 Grand Final - never have I ever felt as much joy as a Leeds fan than then. Years of if's, but's, and maybe's just evaporated. I was speechless for words for hours after the game.
2003 CC Semi Final - what a kick by Sinny, what a game. When McGuire scored in the corner to put us 2 points behind everyone around me was going crazy with the try, but time seemed to stand still, and I actually sat down in my chair, saying over and over "he still needs to kick it"......I was directly in line with it, and although it's cliched, it really was over from the moment he left his boot.
I don't think I've ever seen so many fans run back to their seats. The John Smith's stand (as it was then), was half empty, and then all of a sudden full again !!
2007 Grand Final - Leeds were just brilliant, almost, in my opinion, the most perefct game of rugby. Scott Donalds try has me in tears with excitement, at that point I knew we had won the trophy.
Premiership Play off (not sure of the year) - away at Cas, and Schoey burrowing over to win it in the last minute, after being sin binned earlier. I have never seen my Uncle go crazy at a try before.....he did that day.
1982 (I think) - JPS Semi Final at Huddersfield v Leigh - Des Drummonds dropped ball try that was awarded, Mark Conway scoring for Leeds, I would have been about 7 years old at the time and that was my first moment of male bonding at a sports event, when I hugged my Dad as Leeds won. He died last year, so that moment will always have a special place in my heart.
