If the 85 final had finished ten minutes earlier with the score 28-8 to wigan it would have been long forgotten , they refer to the 1979 fa cup final as the two minute final, surely the 85 challenge cup should be referred to as the 10 minute final
Rubbish, the 1985 final will always be remembered as the greatest final irrespective of any last 10 minutes, because of the outstanding tries, the never giving in attitude of the Hul team and the fantastic atmosphere of the full house capacity crowd of 97,801.
The other best two finals for me were the 27-0 beating of St Helens in 1989 with their embarrassing performances of of O'Connor and Vautin in 1989 who were brought all the way from Australia for the final and the 2002 final at Murrayfield when we were considered as massive underdogs. So much so that on the way to Murrayfield, we had to endure the laughing and joking of Saints supporters.
As Bob Monkhouse would say, they were not laughing and joking on the way home!
