They were just two of many highlights over the course of 12 months for Seacroft in 2001.
Other memories include a Leeds man with the keys to success, who won a competition at Tesco Extra for a free Skoda car, and plans for a new hospital building that were beginning to take shape.
Enjoy these memories from the YEP's archives, of Seacroft 2001.
