1968 Challenge Cup Semi Final.
Travelled to Swinton by bus (M62 was still under construction). Bus broke down. Had to hitch a lift (I was 16 years old). Beat Wigan who were favourites I think . John Atkinson had a blinder against Billy Boston. Had to find a bus to take us home.
Nothing would surpass that would it? Bring on the "Watersplash Final". Went to Wembley with my Dad and Brother. My Dad worked at John Waddingtons with Kenny Hirst who scored in the Final for Wakefield.
We all went crazy when poor Don Fox missed the goal!
