History

Early years

In 1864, H.I. Jenkinson placed an advert in the Leeds Mercury inviting players to meet up at Woodhouse Moor a few days a week from 7am to 8am. That advert attracted over 500 members. From this interest several clubs were formed including Leeds St John's.

Leeds St John's were formed in 1870 and were originally known as the "Old Blue & Ambers". They played at the Militia Barracks from 1870 to 1888 before moving to Cardigan Fields, near Headingley, Leeds. Membership was originally confined to the church classes but was soon expanded. By 1887 St John's had reached their first cup final, the Yorkshire Cup. They lost to Wakefield Trinity. , Headingley is a suburb of the English city of Leeds in the county of West Yorkshire. ... Official website www. ...

In 1888 the Cardigan Estate was sold at auction and Lot 17a was purchased by a group of Leeds citizens, who intended to form the city's leading sports club. Lot 17a became what is now Headingley Stadium.

Leeds St John's played their final season under that name in 1889-90, before becoming the football section of Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Co Ltd the following season. With Headingley still being completed, Leeds' first game was staged at Cardigan Fields, the home side defeating Otley. The first game at Headingley was played on September 20, 1890, when Manningham were beaten by one try and one dropped goal to nil.

In 1892 some 27,654 spectators - a then record in British rugby - attended the third round showdown between Leeds and Halifax at Headingley.

Leeds were founder members of the Northern Union when it broke away from the Rugby Football Union in 1895. Leeds' debut in the Northern Union was a 6-3 success at Leigh on September 7, 1895, the inaugural day of the new competition.

On Saturday 27th October 1934, Leeds and Wakefield Trinity met in the final of the Yorkshire Cup at Crown Flatt, Dewsbury. The match ended in a 5-5 draw.

Leeds contested perhaps the most memorable of all Wembley occasions, the "watersplash final" of 1968, which was played despite a downpour that saturated the pitch. It produced the most dramatic of finishes, when Man-of-the-Match (Lance Todd trophy winner), Don Fox had the easiest of conversions to win it for Wakefield Trinity, but missed it to leave Leeds 11-10 winners.

The Championship trophy returned to Headingley in 1969 after a tough final against Castleford. Remarkably, Leeds were coached to the championship again by Joe Warham, also coach for their first success in 1961, Joe having returned to the fray on an interim basis following the departure of coach Roy Francis.

Coached by Rocky Turner Leeds returned to Wembley in 1971 and 1972 but lost out both times - in 1971 losing to rank outsiders Leigh and suffering the indignity of captain Syd Hynes being the first man to 'take an early bath' at Wembley. A third championship, in 1972, provided consolation.

In the 1976-77 season, the Salford versus Leeds match was abandoned after 38 minutes when Chris Sanderson of Leeds suffered a fatal injury. Leeds were ahead 5-2, but the game was declared null and void and not replayed. The club recovered to win the Challenge Cup at the end of that season. They repeated that successs in 1978, in a classic final against St Helens at Wembley Stadium with Leeds completing what was then a record comeback. Former captain Syd Hynes was coach on both occasions. However these victories were the 'last hurrah' of the great sixties and seventies sides and a barren spell followed in the eighties. For the old stadium, see Wembley Stadium (1923). ...

Leeds made it to the John Player Trophy final only to lose 15-14 to St Helens in January 1988.

Though they have always been regarded as one of the sport's richest clubs, financial worries threatened Leeds' future in the mid-1990s, amid speculation that the club were preparing to sell Headingley and move in with Leeds United at Elland Road.

Leeds eventually hauled themselves back to the top of the game with a Challenge Cup final appearance in 1994 against Wigan. They were beaten easily. The game was memorable for a length of the field try by Martin Offiah, considered by many to be one the greatest tries ever scored. However, many often forget that Leeds's own Francis Cummins, making his record-breaking appearance as the youngest-ever Challenge Cup player, scored his own length of the field try, evading both Offiah and legendary Wigan skipper "Mean" Dean Bell. Despite the loss, this was not a one off appearance and Leeds did return again a year later.

1996 marked the beginning of summer rugby and major transition for the renamed Leeds Rhinos. Dean Bell took over as head coach following his retirement as a player. Leeds flirted with relegation but eventually managed to haul themselves out. Bell then became academy team coach in 1997. The turnaround was quick and the Rhinos once again found their way to the top, facing Wigan in the inaugural Grand Final in 1998 at Old Trafford, Manchester.

Leeds were not to be denied, and in the next season recorded their first Challenge Cup victory for over 20 years and first silverware in a decade, with a convincing 52-16 win over London at Wembley.

Daryl Powell became coach of the Leeds Rhinos after he retired from playing in 2001.

Under coach Darryl Powell the Rhinos gradually rebuilt and after a 3 year absence once again made the Challenge Cup final in 2003 to face Bradford. Leeds were once again edged out in a very tense game 22-20 in front of 71,212 fans at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

Mascot

Ronnie The Rhino is the Leeds Rhinos mascot. He attempts to get the crowd going pre-match, and at half-time he normally gets children involved by playing some sort of game. The current "Ronnie the Rhino" is Steve Beck. Beck often drives to perform Ronnie already in the "Ronnie Suit", however this has caused controversy due to the high number of near-misses he has on the road. Beck said that although his vision is seriously impaired by the suit, he feels it is an acceptable risk as he does not want the children to stop believing in the magic of Ronnie which he feels would happen if he turned up and they saw him get into the suit.
