Yes my all-time fave Player Bert !!! Brett Kenny Fantastic Player.

This is a fantastic doco. Kenny is still spoken of by the older Wigan fans despite playing only one partial season. Notice at 21:36 the first thing he does at the hooter is run to his mates on the Hull team to console them rather than celebrate, he was all class.

I can't disagree with that at all It was a fkn Classic !!!

I was there... Shaun Edwards became a legend on this day... ❤️❤️❤️

Classic game !!! Sterlo and Kenny where on another level in regards to vision and ability, they could conjure stuff out of thin air.

Kenny's try from halfway - just magnificent

I’m from Wigan and a RL fan from day one. This was one of the best days of my life, and one of the best games ever

I was there that day too. Cheering on the Airlie Birds. I thought we were going to pinch it at the end. Not mentioned by anyone but Hull had a number of youngsters in the side, Crooks, Schofield, Divorty and Puckering. I believe they were all teenagers. Edwards being the notable Wigan youngster. Have to say though that Kenny was sheer class. Went home disappointed but still love to watch this every now and then.

Wally Lewis gets a lot of the limelight from the eighties but Brett Kenny was equally sensational.

Exactly ! Wally Lewis even said the Best Player ever played against was Brett Kenny 😉 He really should be an Immortal.

A wonderful game and the 99,801 was only second to the Odsal replay in 1954 that drew 102,569 officially ( 120,000 unofficially ).I actually failed to get a ticket to this game.I wanted to go so bad.Lots and lots of star players on the field that day.Peter Stering still the best player I ever saw.

Hi fella, I went to this final with my mate. We along with many Wigan fans, were on the lash in Wigan on the Friday night. The Bees Knees pub (Manly were there in 87 after their defeat against Wigan, we had Merrydown cider with Michael O'Connor and Mal Cochrane, top blokes as all the Aussies were, despite their loss, we all got properly shitfaced) then onto the Pier nighclub. Got up early but we had to surrender our beer at the train station, Wigan North Western, bloody British Rail porters snaffled all the decent cans the thieving bar stewards! Arrived at Wembley, we had an impromptu game of rugby with the Hull speccies, no idea who won but it was a loaf of bread as the ball. Had some beers at the pub before Wembley Way, then onto the game. What a game it was.... superb game of rugby league, or as you fellas down under say footie! A lasting memory of that day was a banner held behind us in the Wigan end, a big white bedsheet on sticks saying in bright red "May the Fourth Be With You!" Says it all really, thanks for the upload, brought back a lot of memories. Brett, Sterlo, Fergie, Gilly.... cheers mate.

Thanks so much for sharing your memories of that legendary Cup Final in 85 and that time. Cheers mate🙂👍🏻

Kenny was a brilliant stand off, so sad to hear about his battle with cancer hang in there Brett. Sublime skills and blistering pace. Gloss over his apparent throwing the next game a premiership semi at knowsley Road against Meninga's St. Helens. John Ferguson is loved by wigan fans, pace,strength elusiveness. Sterling had a great game, so did wigans half mike ford an amazing match. I also watched Hull KR put in a great defensive performance to stop Menninga on a damp night at Knowsley Road. We only saw 1 season of menninga in the uk. Remember fattys and O'connors wembley in 89, ran into Hanley and co? Hanley at his peak, Wigans greatest ever all round player. One of Wigan's favorite aussies is gene miles in 92 he formed what I argue is the greatest centre wing partnership in club history. Miles at 4 Offiah at 5. Wigan often concentrated on high quality kiwis like dean bell, Iro, Tuigamala, West and co. Lewis played with a relatively weak team in wakefield trinity, It's a pity he never played a season or three with a powerful english team and played in a challenge cup. Gavin miller was also a quality player in them days at Hull kr. Stay safe down under and our pals in NZ, hope you guys come up for the ashes battle once this virus is gone, still suffering it in the UK.

Hi Graham. Thank you so much for your great comment. Yes, those were incredible days in English Rugby League. I agree it would have been awesome to see Wally play for a decent team, but still amazing seasons had by Big Mal, Bert and Sterlo. Thanks mate. Stay safe in the UK too bud. We sure hope to be over your way next year for the Ashes. Cheers mate.

Yes brother Gavin miller was a great underrated player, reminded me of the great ray price.

Gill’s try was epic but Stevenson’s pass never gets remembered it was top top draw 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant documentary. I was there for Wigan and remember the last five minutes were absolute hell as Hull made their attempted comeback.

Can't believe the run ups Lee Crooks takes for goal kicks. Check out the first kick off alone.

Yes I remember this game.was ten and been in NZ it was like 2 in the morning.was only up cause watched late movie,then this came on crazy game,but what a hell of a game.

Kenny is simply the best I ever saw in the flesh n chikka is not far behind him never seen a winger so elusive from the get go ..

Extraordinary final, it exemplifies all that is great about rugby league. A marker as to Kenny's genius; QLD never won an Origin clash whenever Kenny was picked at five eighth against King Wally.

The best final by far /what a great day out- you will never see a crowd again like that @ a final…

Thank you sir once again for a fantastic recap of a tremendous game of footy. Being a huge Parra fan from NZ it was great to see the likes of Sterlo, Bert and Muggleton on the pitch as well as Ah Kuoi, Leuleai, Kemble & O'Hara. O'Hara is probably the guy I feel for the most now after watching this, didn't think so 35 years ago, time brings perspective. cheers.

One of the Greatest Games ever played. I'll never forget that game. Peter Sterling played for Hull and Wigan had Brett Kenny and John Chicka Ferguson 😉 What a fkn game 😊 As an Eels fan watching two of your favourite Players head to head it was an incredible game. Although Chicka didn't play for Parra he was still one of my Fave Players. He was Greece Lightning 😏

All great players, Aussies, Brits and New Zealanders that make the game of Leauge what it is.Lets hope that we all get back to the challenge sooner than later eh.Not forgetting the other great nations players either of which there are many.Jim.Liverpool.

Bro, too much! Thanks again for another high quality upload. This is a great look back at a historic game loaded with talent. 👊🏽👊🏽👏🏽

What a game and I was there 🎉

Back when Sterlo had hair

I was living in Birmingham at the time 1985 just a pity Mal,Fatty, Wally,Bob Lindner weren't playing that day. It's the only game of Rugby League that I got to watch because back in those days they didn't Televised Origin or the Grand final live we had to wait for Newspaper and VHS tapes to be posted to us but in glad way back in Australia by 1987 to watch the QLD resurgence, after the narrow lose of 85 and the Whitewash in 86.

Oh wow mate. Yes it would have been awesome to see Wally play for a contending team over there. Everyone who saw him play for Wakefield Trinity in 84 say he was sensational, but they really a 2nd division side about to be relegated. Mate, I was living in London in 2018 and last year..was great but there's no where like home in Oz.

Wigan had two coaches Colin Clarke and Alan McInnes.. Alan was the second bloke leading the Wigan team out, he was my sports teacher, he also got me two tickets for this final. The callers for the game are Ray French and the great Alex Murphy.

Hey Dan. Not nit picking. Just letting you know that Brett Kenny and Peter Sterling had opposed each other in Australia 4 times before this brilliant encounter. Brett Kenny played for City Firsts against Peter Sterling for Country Firsts. 1983 at International Sports Centre Newcastle. City won 30 - 14. 1984 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. City won 38 - 12. 1986 at the International Sports Centre Newcastle. City won 34 - 18. 1987 City Origin vs Country Origin at Parramatta Stadium. City won 30 - 22. Fantastic videos mate. Please keep them coming. Cheers.

Exactamundo, arguably the GOAT RL of all time. He was called The Natural, that pretty much sums up Brett Kenny.

I miss it when the cup actually meant something. It was a finale to the end of the season. Worse thing ever was the knockout phase to the League, it makes the Cup pointless.

David Stephenson and Mike Ford's days at Wigan were numbered as both were later sold to make way for Joe Lydon and Andy Gregory their hometown team Wigan having missed the opportunity to sign them straight from school but to finally get them home had to pay a lot of money in transfer fees Lydon from Widnes then Gregory would come before that Hanley would be signed from Bradford Northern in September 1985

you could say southern invasion ,some kiwi boys stoodup as well .

Hull missed a couple of kick at goal Extra time ?

Ah Yeah !!!!!!!!!!

Gee fergo must of been fifty during the cup,I want to see a birth certificate!!

Its called a casual stance not unimpressed mannor bert was just relaxed i still don't know why they made such a big deal about him having his hands in his pockets

Also love it how someone scores a try in front of 99 thousand screaming fans and the other players don't jump all over him. Take note Penrith

Hull missed 5 goals and lost by 4.

English clubs have beaten ours more . Like a month ago with Wigan beating Penrith. We all love Rugby league and we should be united against the other code's
