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!

Good shout, although playing for so many different clubs he had a fair chance.

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.

There was a party in our house when it was first shown.

We seem to have drifted off from the main point of the thread but never mind.

All still interesting.

Agree.

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.
