Quote ="WireWireWire"Magnificent moment for he, Hull and the competition. After that I simply couldn't begrudge Hull that trophy, not that I could beforehand. Brilliant, honest game where every player gave their all. No niggles, no fighting, just straight laced play from each man made for an enthralling game. That tackle will be a part of this competitions history forever now. It's funny, because had the pitch been just a little bit wet, Currie would have kept tighter hold of that and slid over regardless of the tackle. As it were, bone dry pitch and the ball sticks where it lands. Crushing for him but without his earlier try we wouldn't have been in the position to win. I'm so excited for his future in this game.'"
Great post.
And you're right. That was one of the most physically intense games I've ever seen but also one of the cleanest. Great credit to both teams a truly classic match.
