Emerald Headingley Stadium, Leeds, West Yorkshire, 11th July 2021. John Holmes Statue- Unveiling at the Emerald Headingley Stadium, Leeds. The first statue in the 130 years history of Emerald Headingley Stadium with the John Holmes Statue taking its place in front of the South Stand. John Holmes remains one of the greatest players to have ever played for Leeds Rugby League having played for over two decades for his home town club. A Kirkstall born and bred lad, his impact and legacy is huge, and it is only fitting that a lasting memorial is erected in John’s memory at the iconic Emerald Headingley Stadium. Sculptor Steve Winterburn has once again turned his focus to Rugby League having successfully created The Wembley Stadium Rugby League heroes statue. The John Holmes Statue will be placed at the front of the Tetley’s South Stand for everyone to appreciate and remember a Rugby League icon. Credit: Touchlinepics/Alamy Live News
