Few outside the Eagles camp gave them any hope of success against a Wigan side built around superstar names such as Andy Farrell, Henry Paul and Jason Robinson and neither did the bookies, with the Warriors listed as 14-to-1 odds-on favourites. But the belief instilled by coach, John Kear, and embodied on the pitch by captain Mark Aston, Keith Senior, and the rest of the Sheffield side helped construct one of the great surprises in the history of the competition. Wigan had won on their previous nine visits to Wembley, whilst Sheffield had only been formed in 1984.... Still, the Eagles led from start to finish, as Aston’s astute kicking and name-making tries by Nick Pinkney, Matt Crowther and Darren Turner enabled an unforgettable chapter in Challenge Cup history to be written.
