When Leeds Carnegie take on Saracens on Sunday in their Aviva Premiership clash, it will mark 120 years of rugby at Headingley Carnegie Stadium.

In 1890, the same year that Sitting Bull and Vincent Van Gogh died, Stan Laurel was born and the Forth Bridge was opened, Leeds defeated Manningham on September 20 in the first game of rugby at the ground.

Headingley is the oldest venue still in continuous use among the top clubs in England as Kingsholm was opened a year later, and Welford Road, the Recreation Ground and Franklins Gardens in 1894.

The biggest crowd at Headingley was 40,175 in 1945 for a rugby league clash between Leeds and Bradford Northern.

The biggest attendance for a union match was for a third-round cup tie with Halifax on April 2, 1892, which attracted 27,654.

Leeds also hosted an England-Scotland international in 1893, with the visitors winning in front of over 30,000.
