Featherstone at Wembley!!!! For some reason, I thought it was 14-12 to Hull, probably copiuos amounts of beer!!! Shock horror and various expletives, when I realised it was the winning penalty by Quin and not a replay which I was convinced we’d win. That beer eh, gets you into all sorts of bother but luckily, you don’t usually remember  |

IIRC Wakey scoring a try was on opening credits for Saturday afternoon BBC 'Grandstand' for years! My late dad used to go barmy |

As shock results go, the loss to Fev is the biggest. We were possibly the shorted odds favourites for years to win the cup that day. I started going to rugby when in 1981, so the '80 final was something I watched on TV at the time but I cannot claim to have been an ardent fan at the time. That rovers won (when looking at form of that time) was not so much a shock result.
If we put the shoe on the other foot, shock wins which stick out in the memory would be
March 1988 - Hull 18 v Wigan 12 (McCaffrey's last minutes beauty)
April 1988 hull kr 14 v Hull 21 (2 day after the cup semi replay defeat to Fax, a knackered Hull team (minus our imports in Scott Gale, David Brooks and Terry Regan) take the good Friday derby.
January 1989, Wigan 20 v Hull 35 (Brian Smiths side dominated wigan on their own patch)
April 2004, Bradford 18 v Hull 26 (4 tries for Briscoe at the home of the rampant Bulls) |

Tommy Finn scored our only try the year before against Wigan. Try scorer in the '60 final against Wakefield was centre Stan Cowan. |

Well done- you are spot on.
Continuing on with the masochistic theme my stand-out shock result was the previous year's CC final against Wigan in 1959.
I was living that year in Hull (left permanently after) and went to every round including a replay win away at Wakefield and beat you in the quarter final. We breezed through the semi while Wigan scraped past Leigh in the semi (5-0 I think).
Billed as a battle between the great Hull pack with Whiteley, Harris, Scott plus the Drake twins and the great Wigan back line with Boston, Ashton,Sullivan and Bolton, it was a no contest with us taking a hammering 30-13.
Our pack failed to fire on the day and was comfortably dominated by the Wigan outfit with forward Brian McTigue the MOM. Bolton was enormous at stand off. The margin of the loss together with the Hull pack sub par performance was a shock as was the Wigan dominance and ranked as one the best Wigan teams I have ever seen. |
