1966 versus Wigan?

Certainly was the 1966 CC final which was the last I saw before leaving England. Len Killeen only played in 1 CC final. When I arrived in Aus in 1968 Len Killeen was playing for Balmain Tigers with Dave Bolton and the following year both helped Balmain to win the Premiership final at the SCG.

Also in the St Helens side in that 1966 match were Tommy Bishop and Cliff Watson. Tommy came to play for Cronulla in 1969 and a couple of years later was joined at the Sharks by Cliff.

Those two games gave wigan fans a good laugh, the 1998 final gave the whole of rugby league a great laugh

I seem to remember the 2019 final had the same effect.

Think the 98 final was the moment Wigan fans started realising the cycle was ending. But what a ride. It is only considered the biggest upset of all time because they beat us. Saints fans can sneer at the result be we easily beat them in the quarter finals so what did that make them?

Thanks gents. Superb kicker Killeen, as was Coslett & the robotic Botica in their days.

Whilst it wasn't a pretty final, 91 was a big one given the mission impossible aspect and is another that had we played 90 minutes we would probably have lost.

The spirit of 66 tshirt that saints sold in their club shop still makes me chuckle.

1989 Final.

29-0

As Andy Greg said " I always forget how many we scored, but I always remember how many Saints scored".

It was actually 27-0, but it was still nil for Saints

That'll teach me not to post before reading the whole thread.

76-0 was better........see if i get a bite
