1980 - Hull had about 15 tries disallowed by a ref who had clearly been paid off by those cheats from east hull if my memory serves me right and rovers proved the only way a Hull club could win at wembley was if they were playing another Hull club

1992 - Wigan v Cas

Tremendous occasion, the old Wembley was far superior IMO.

Absolutely. Despite it's age there was nothing quite like the old Wembley. As an 11 year old at that final, my Dad watched me walk through to the seats and said my mouth just fell open, I could barely see across to the other side. The new Wembley just feels like everything does these days; overly corporate and lacking a certain je ne sais quoi.

1965 Wigan v Hull. I was 2 months short of my 15th birthday. I got bitten, badly, by the Rugby League bug (thankfully)!

Change 1965 for 1985 and that is exactly the same for me!

1969 Cas v Salford
As others have said the atmosphere at the old Wembley stadium was far superior to the new one
