Match of My Life Leeds Rhinos Summary

Match of My Life Leeds Rhinos: Thirteen Stars Relive Their Favourite Games by Phil Caplan

Leeds is arguably the most glamorous name in rugby league and is certainly the game's best supported club. Founded in 1895, their unique and historic Headingley home has played host to some of the thirteen-a-side sport's greatest players and most famous encounters. Known until the advent of Super League in 1996 as the Loiners and now re-christened Rhinos, they have attracted a host of legends to don their iconic blue and amber colours. Local boys, big money signings, high profile raids on rugby union and international superstars have ensured continuing glory and, equally importantly, upheld the side's reputation for enterprise and flair. Match Of My Life - Leeds Rhinos revels in thirteen of the finest moments in Leeds' history as some of the greatest names who have played for the club relive their most memorable matches.Leroy Rivett recalls how he made history becoming the first to score four tries at Wembley in 1999; pack star Bill Ramsey takes you through the bloody battle with Castleford that secured the championship title in the mud of Odsal in 1969. Read Danny McGuire's account of how the Rhinos became the best side in the world thanks in part to his majestic try on an Elland Road pitch that means so much to him and thrill to the exploits of two-try hero Derek Hallas in his most enduring eighty minutes, as Leeds finally captured their holy grail in 1961. The baker's dozen range from 'Golden Boy' Lewis Jones who made his debut amid a blaze of publicity in the 1950s through to current skipper and testimonial recipient, Kevin Sinfield, the paragon of the modern professional.As an added feature, the players included have been selected by position, making up a mythical side that would have been good enough to take on all-comers in any era. With thousands of appearances between them, choosing the matches that meant the most to these illustrious players was difficult, but, inevitably, some of Leeds' most glorious days are recalled by those who made them happen
