I'm just not old enough to "feel" it.
I've got a lot of empathy for the thing but the story to me is a human one, not necessarily a Wakefield Trinity one.
Yeah, Wakey are involved but I don't think I'd feel any different about it were it Hull, Dewsbury, Halifax or anybody else.
For me its about Don Fox, the fact he played for Wakey is kinda moot.
Its a good piece by the beeb on its 50th anniversary...

What a superb documentary. I had a tear in my eye more than once. I was only 5 and vaguely recall being sat with my Dad whilst he watched it on TV. I can't recall his reaction! I suspect he may have left the room!
Most touching was Neil's reactions; the obvious love for his brother and that comment 'I wished it had been me'. And I have never seen that footage of Don kicking it in 1990 in his dress shoes and trousers then doing an ironic celebration. Bless him and rest in peace Don

I was there. The thing that I'd not realised and that really stood out on the documentary was Don Fox's attitude at the last kick off after the Leeds score. One minute left on the clock but he still hadn't given up. He contrived a trick to get the ball back from the ko which led to Ken Hirst scoring and the rest's history. I was 14 and I cried my eyes out - for myself, for the team but mostly for Don Fox. Great documentary about a great player.

Watched both earlier on today and had a lump in my throat just watching the crowds both at Wembley and belle view and the atmosphere. It was stuff dreams are made of, local hero’s playing for their local team.
The likes of which will not to be repeated I guess.
When I hear of people dismissing the relevance of the challenge cup I think they do a disservice to the memory’s of players who have give their all for our great club.

At one of the Wakefield Literary Festival days at the Red Shed, Neil said something along the lines of "I wished it had been me, I could have lived with it, Don couldn't"

Hats off to whomever produced that documentary - it was very well done, and very moving.

Well before my time, but my Mum was a big fan - she's never forgiven the referee for the obstruction try; you can watch the footage over and over and fail to see what he thought he saw. On that basis, the fateful kick to win the game should never even have happened - and to see the effect it had on Don Fox for years afterwards was very sad. Poor lad indeed.
