No 9: 1987, Halifax 19-18 St Helens


Ray French selects his top 10 Challenge Cup final shocks.

RAY FRENCH'S TOP SHOCKS

RF: "John Pendlebury was the star of the show as Halifax upset Saints to win the Cup for the fifth time in their history.

"His drop-goal proved to be the difference between the two sides, but it was his tackle on Mark Elia on 72 minutes that grabbed most of the headlines.

"Elia looked certain to score as he dived for the line.

"But a desperate Pendlebury flung himself at the ball and somehow managed to knock it from his opponent's grasp."
