Old Frightful Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 There's a facebook watch party on right now, showing the 1981 RL Cup Final between Widnes and Hull KR. The photo of Widnes parading the cup (sorry for the spoiler!) made me wonder, along with Brian Lockwood, how many other cup winning players have returned to Wembley, or other venues, and won the RL Challenge Cup the following year playing for a different team. There must be a few, I know you lot won't let me down eeking them out! Hull FC....The Sons of God...

Hela Wigmen Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Gary Connolly won it in 2002 with Wigan but lost in 2003 with Leeds, scoring in both games. As an aside, I don’t imagine many have scored in consecutive finals for separate clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're original question had me stumped though. Nearest I could get was Clive Sullivan winning it with Hull KR in '80 and with Hull in '82. "I'm from a fishing family.
