Still makes me chuckle when they were still writing us off saying we were spent when 8-6 up IIRC.

Absolutely awesome day. I swore blind that it was Charlotte Church singing but i was a little shedded!





After we won i think i rang everyone in my phone book. Then i was hanging out of the back door and sunroof of the people carrier whilst stuck in the traffic jams coming away from Cardiff with two flags in hand and singing old faihful to everybody!!



Rugby wasnt bad either!

many people will agree with ye,i remember speaking to kear a couple of years ago about the cup run that year,his words were the semifinal was the best game hed been involved in just cos we was such massive under dogs,mind you it was a memorable game and one ill certainly never forget.

Greatest renditions of Old Faithful I've ever heard at that game including Threepenny's in the early 80's

i didnt go

Fully agree. A complete performance, superb kicking game from Brough, Cooke and Horne that day and fantastic defence. I can remember how gutted I was that we didn't draw Toulouse in the semis as it didn't seem we had a chance against either Saints or Leeds yet once we'd kicked off, apart from that wobble when Briscoe/Raynor fumbled and Lyon scored we never looked like losing. Some superb individual plays as well, like Barnett's tackle on Gardner and Raynor's on Darren Albert to force a dropout. When you look back on it, there can have been fewer more impressive paths to the CC than the one we took that year, but the Saints game was the best of the 5 wins.

The semi was fantastic. The atmosphere was unbelievable, I'll never forget it. One memory that sticks in my mind is when Kearney scored his try they started playing "ain't no stopping us now" over the tannoy it was so relevant.

Never seen so many grown men cry after the semi and final.....

I'll never forget saints fans lining the road back to the coaches clapping the hull fans, huge lump in throat moment! or was i that 2@atted i just imagined it

i remember the saints fans clapping us back to buses.... think that speaks volumes for that day. We were just awesome. The final was just a blur as was the parade n the next two days for me!!!

I kissed Dave Bell at that game

, after telling him I would if we won because we were such massive underdogs
