John Holmes statue revealed: First pictures of Headingley memorial to Leeds Rhinos legend
The bronze figure, which cost around £110,000, has been sculpted by Steve Winterburn, who created the rugby league statue placed at Wembley Stadium in 2015.
Eight feet high, the Holmes statue is solid bronze and stands on a two-foot Yorkshire stone plinth, with a commemorative plaque.
