If you're a fan of RL or not (I'm not) this is a great program about what became known as the Watersplash Final. A great story.

As Ton says it's a great story.You know it's out of the ordinary when a final gets it's own title.

I'm a Saints fan

Great programme, but a pretty sad story. You could see the pain on his face even 20 odd years later when they filmed him kicking the goal for the interview.

It also amazed me how unsympathetic the interviewers were, both at the time and the one in the 90s. "You might have missed the kick, but isn't it amazing that you won the man of the match?!"
