No 3: 1930, Widnes 10-3 St Helens


Ray French selects his top 10 Challenge Cup final shocks.

RAY FRENCH'S TOP SHOCKS

RF: "It was a mis-match on paper, with St Helens boasting a team full of internationals and county players.

"Yet Widnes, fielding 12 local-born lads and a 37-year-old South African loose forward by the name of George van Rooyen, defied the odds to bring home the Challenge Cup.

"Two tries from Albert Ratcliffe and Jack Dennett proved the difference in only the second final to be held at Wembley."
