- Synopsis:
Remembered as 'The Watersplash Final', this match has become one of the most talked about in the history of the competition and is one that made Don Fox Rugby League's most infamous goal-kicker. In the very last act of the game Fox lined up a simple conversion attempt that would have claimed the cup for Wakefield against their West Yorkshire rivals. In atrocious conditions, the unthinkable happened, Fox missed, the final hooter sounded, and Leeds celebrated what only seconds earlier had seemed an unlikely triumph. It was a moment that remains foremost in Rugby League folklore. Fox, 'a poor lad' as BBC commentator Eddie Waring described him, was forced to admit the man of the match award was of little consolation. - Actors:
