Opposing John Holmes : Sat Dec 20, 2008 12:06 pm
Hi,
I am in the process of creating a website dedicated to John Holmes, who gave such long service to rugby league during a 20 year playing career.
I am collecting memories of John from ex-teammates, opponents, officials, writers, photographers and especially spectators.
I would welcome views and opinions from supporters other than from Leeds. As the site will not just concentrate on John but build up to be a montage of rugby league from the late 60s to late 80s.
So what was it like for an opposition fan to have your team face a Leeds team back then with John Holmes in their side. Could you appreciate his skills, if not for Leeds, maybe for Great Britain. A couple of lines or a few paragraphs of your memories would be very welcome. I will due credit on the site for all submissions. I'll let you know the web address when it is launched at the end of February.
