DESCRIBE YOUR FAVOURITE MOMENT YOU’VE HAD WHILST SUPPORTING LEEDS RHINOS

Standing in the away end at Huddersfield on that September night in 2015 when Ryan Hall collected the through kick from Danny Maguire in the last seconds of the last match of the regular season to score and bring us the League Leaders Shield and as one the whole end of the ground went up in the air in celebration. The other that also sticks in my mind is my eldest son, Jack, being plucked out of the crowd at Odsal to be a stand in mascot for the game and seeing him run out with Kevin and Robbie.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT A LEEDS RHINOS MATCHDAY AT AMT HEADINGLEY STADIUM?

I am one of the volunteers who meet and greet the fans on match day. I’m usually outside the ticket office helping fans find their way into the match. It’s great to meet fans from all clubs and countries – as far away as Australia and New Zealand as well as near to home. I’ve met some lifelong friends being a volunteer and it’s good to meet up with them for a pint, a natter and a great game of rugby league!

This is a really hard question as every season has its standout moment. So for me, my favourite moment this season was when we came up against Leigh Leopards, our first home match since Rob Burrow died and played on Global MND Awareness Day.
