No 2: 1971, Leigh 24-7 Leeds


Ray French selects his top 10 Challenge Cup final shocks.

RAY FRENCH'S TOP SHOCKS

RF: "Leeds were missing key players like Mick Shoebottom, Alan Smith and Ray Batten but were still expected to see off Leigh.

"But, inspired by player-coach Alex Murphy, the underdogs took the game by the scruff of the neck and had effectively clinched victory by half-time after opening up a 17-2 lead.

"Leeds briefly rallied, but the 65th-minute dismissal of skipper Syd Hynes for headbutting Murphy sealed their defeat."
