Leeds Welsh Rugby League Players
Leeds Rugby League Club is one of the most famous names in the sport with many notable players playing on the hallowed field of Headingley since turning professional in 1895.
Since the launch of the Northern Union in 1895, Welshmen have played an important role in the many successes the club has had over the years. More than 150 Welsh players have represented the club. Many won honours and trophies while playing for Leeds.
This book by Neil Jones commemorates the many Welshmen who came north to wear the famous blue and amber jersey. It includes many famous names such as Frank ‘Bucket’ Young, Joe Thompson, Richard ‘Dickie’ Williams and the legendary ‘Golden Boy’ Lewis Jones, considered by many to be the greatest player in the club’s history. In more recent times, Iestyn Harris played a vital role in re-establishing Leeds as a major force in their new guise of the Rhinos.
The book records those players who were successful with Leeds, but also includes those that did not achieve the success they had hoped for when they turned professional and came north, such as Edgar Tottle, Patrick Greaney and Enoch Hughes.
This book details the lives and careers of every Welsh player to have played for the club, be it for the first team or academy level.
With a foreword by Tony Fisher, a Great Britain and Wales international, this book will be of interest to all rugby league fans.
