It was. Hence part of the reason I don't like Leeds.

Couldn't go to the Wembley final against Hull as there was nobody to take me and only being 12, but went to Odsal with a schoolmate and his dad, found a half crown piece as I was going through the turnstile, thought all me birthdays had come at once when Nelly scored that try :D , till Boston put him out of the game :(

True but at least it's a start.

I hadn't discovered the Trin in 1979 and am too young for the sixties era, so I'm yet to know of such things.

Applegarth was right about the sixties being a long time ago, we desperately need a new history, I mean I'm 60 next year!

First final I won't be watching. Can't stand Leeds and Saints were really 'helped' to get to the final.

Me too. If it was the olympics, I would rather watch the Salford v Wigan match for bronze.

My first Wembley was 1960 against Hull. The first time that I saw the late queen. Red hot day and the marching guardsmen in the band were fainting in the heat. Neil Fox's record points scoring Wembley. in a 38-5 win. I recall David Coleman, the BBC tv Grandstand sports programm epresenter, going around the edge of the pitch interviewing spectators and receiving a mass of verbal abuse from the crowd. I heard words I never knew existed.

I vaguely remember my Brother going to the 68 final… and I was at every game in the 79 cup run and at the final (although I missed the first try at Oldham as we were late at the ground)

Looking at how Salford managed to weather the Saints onslaught and hit back, with a team on paper few would give them a second look at ,and also with their talisman sitting in the stand ,I’ve a feeling leeds will go one step further and win this one .
