Mark Chapman looks back at classic Challenge Cup matches from the BBC Sport archives. First up is a West Yorkshire clash from 1973 as Featherstone took on Bradford. 14 years later, Halifax and St Helens produced one of the closest finals Wembley has ever seen, while yet another Yorkshire club, Sheffield Eagles, were huge underdogs against the mighty Wigan in 1998. Hull FC were also outsiders when they faced Leeds in 2005, and the Rhinos are in action again against a Wigan side boasting the Tomkins brothers, Sam and Joel, at the peak of their powers.
