1969 Cas v Salford
As others have said the atmosphere at the old Wembley stadium was far superior to the new one

Wigan v Halifax 1988.

This one (1953). www.britishpathe.com/video/wembl ... field-v-st Overnight coachload of Liverpool City supporters (yes, there were enough to fill a coach), pre-motorways, probably reached London at about 8.00 a.m., then slept through a city tour on the coach. Didn't see another until Sheffield v Wigan in 1998.

It's the ankle deep piiss in the toilets you're missing

1968 Water splash final for me.

1993 Wigan versus Widnes

2002 Wigan vs Saints at Murrayfield, the 'Foot of God' final.

2007. Catalans vs St Helens. I was there to witness the first Muslim and the first Arab to score a try at Wembley.

i suspect many Hull Kr fans are now going to live with this being their first ( and possibly) only cup final?

Probably like the Giants then

the what?
never heard this before.

yeah cos we lost 50-0 didn't we

Kris Radlinski's foot trapped under the ball when Cunningham went over.

ah i don't remember, maybe it was because it was a very forgettable final, but i don't remember any controversy

Leeds Widnes 1977. Steve Pitchford LTT winner

1994 Leeds v Wigan. First time Leeds had reached the final in my lifetime. Even though we lost, still enjoyed the day as we didn't disgrace ourselves (unlike the year after when we never turned up)

2000

Bradford V Leeds Murrayfield

When I was ball boy

1986 Cas v HKR

1984 Widnes v Wigan. Poor game lit up but a great Joe Lydon try. Sat at the back on the old wooden plank seats near the top.

Complete contrast to the following year, which as a neutral was brilliant (although I still have no idea why Hull played Schofield of the bench).

Hull v Widnes 1981-82 replay at Elland Road.
I don't miss the old Wembley, it was a dump, nor do I like the new soulless stadium.

1999 Vs Leeds, must of been around 7 but I still remember quite a bit about the game.

1973 Featherstone v Bradford. Massive disappointment for me as Bradford never got going after an impressive run to the final. As an 11 year old I was almost awestruck with the old Wembley.

Although I went to a few other finals in between, the next time Bradford got there in 1996 I was unimpressed with the cramped, urine-smelling obsolete facilities (and Nathan Graham's catching ability)!

1973 Fev v Bradford. I went on to work down t'pit and over the years ended up getting to know half the Fev team from that day and a couple of the Bradford lads too. Also worked with some of the 1983 winning Fev team and loads of other players from those days.

Despite the 30-8 scoreline that favoured St Helens, the magnificent try scored by Catalans winger Younes Khattabi in 2007 will go down in the annals of history as the first ever scored at Wembley by a Muslim and an Arab. Moreover it was played in front of a magnificent crowd of 84,241, in bright sunshine. The event was overwhelming in its significance.
