I was taken to Headingley Leeds for my fisrt match
of rugby on St Patrick's day 1951.My team was playing Fetherstone Rovers
which we lost by the way.I was only 3 at the time but got the rugby
bug.
I have watched the now Leeds Rhinos eversince.55 years of
glory.
Charlie Pawsey is i think an uncle of mine but not quite sure as we live in
Yorkshire and he lived in Lancashire.My dad said he was a distant
relation.
My brother married a lady called Anita McTigue who's uncle was Brian
McTigue who played for Wigan and toured Auss with G.B.
I have seen all
of our cup victory's in the Challenge cup from 1957 until the last time
we won in 1999.
Some of the great Auss players that have worn the Blue &
Amble of Leeds i have seen include Ken ( bucket ) Thornett.I think he
was one on the best full-back i have ever seen.
Eric Grothe,What a big
winger he was.
I have got a photo of our captain Keith McLennon with the
cup at Wembley in 1957.We beat barrow 9-7.
I think my best memory was in
2005 when we Knocked the shit out of the Canterbury Puppydogs in the
World Club Challenge.This made us the WORLD CHAMPIONS.
Hope to here from you soon
John Pawsey
