One of the finest players to pull on a blue and amber jersey, Garry Schofield was unfortunate to play for Leeds between two great eras.

He joined the Loiners in 1987 when the glory days of the 1960s and 70s were a fading memory and left in 1996, before Leeds developed into Super League’s most successful side.

Wigan were the dominant team throughout Schofield’s spell with his hometown team and the Headingley outfit could never quite close the gap, though there were occasional memorable moments.

Schofield has selected one of those, a JPS Trophy semi-final against Wigan at Bolton’s Burnden Park on December 12, 1987, as his favourite match.
