1962, mate, which was also the same year they filmed This Sporting Life, as the rugby footage was filmed during one of the earlier Challenge Cup rounds, with both Wigan and Wakefield players doing the acting bit prior to the actual game (I think). The guy who punched Richard Harris was in fact Derek Turner, who wore a Wigan shirt in the film but was of course the Wakefield captain you saw lift the cup.
It was Hull in 1960 and shudds in 62, this sporting life was filmed in 63 when one of your best mates on here Cheshire cat made a guest appearance for the opposing side.
