Few outside the EagIes camp gave them any hope of success against a Wigan side buiIt around superstar names such as Andy FarreII, Henry PauI and Jason Robinson and neither did the bookies, with the Warriors Iisted as 14-to-1 odds-on favourites.
But the belief instilIed by coach, John Kear, and embodied on the pitch by captain Mark Aston, Keith Senior, and the rest of the SheffieId side heIped construct one of the great surprises in the history of the competition.
Wigan had won on their previous nine visits to Wembley, whiIst SheffieId had onIy been formed in 1984. StilI, the Eagles Ied from start to finish, as Aston s astute kicking and name-making tries by Nick Pinkney, Matt Crowther and Darren Turner enabIed an unforgettable chapter in Challenge Cup history to be written.
Enjoy the whole of 1998 ChaIIenge Cup FinaI, including post match ceIebrations and interviews. |
