Rugby League's Legendary Watersplash Final
Dave Woods presents a programme looking back at the 1968 Rugby League Challenge Cup final Leeds and Wakefield Trinity, which witnessed one of the most dramatic moments ever seen at a major sporting event. With what looked like the easiest of kicks to win the Wembley showpiece, Don Fox of Wakefield stepped up but somehow missed. Leeds won 11-10, and so began one of the most talked about and replayed scenes of all time in British sport.
The programme looks back at that amazing match - which was played in horrific and wet conditions, hence becoming known as the Watersplash Final. Dave speaks to surviving members of both teams, including Don's brother Neil, who talks about the impact that fateful miss had on Don's life and career. It also sparked one of the most famous commentary lines: 'he's missed it, he's missed it... he's a poor lad' by Eddie Waring, as the BBC Grandstand cameras captured all the drama.
