... And another one bugging me is I seem to remember one match at Headingley in the 80's where on the right wing Leeds played a black guy...with just ONE arm ???? My bro thinks I was p**sed ..help !! Save my sanity somebody.

You must've been dfinately pi$$ed!

i've seen quite a few players over the years who tackle and catch like they only have one arm

ithere was once a player a forward who played for sheffield eagles who had a slightly disabled arm .
i think he came from queens arlfc

Correct. IIRC it was Derek Bridgeman.

It was indeed.

He played for Sheffield against Leeds in the cup back in the mid 80s.

A young Sam Panapa also played for Sheffield. Leeds won 50-2.

cheers tvoc marvelous to have you back

Bridgeman played on the left wing with Daryl Powell as his centre. Panapa partnered ex Leeds colt Mark Gamson in the halves and a certain Gary Hetherington was the Sheffield hooker, CEO, kit man, water carrier and coach driver that day.

I think you owe an apology.
