RETRO SPORT: Wigan Warriors fans at Wembley in 1998

Here we take you back 25 years to 1998 when Wigan Warriors fans went to Wembley in their thousands to see their team play in the Challenge Cup final.

The tournament was won by Sheffield Eagles, who beat Wigan Warriors 17–8 in the final, and is generally considered to be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Challenge Cup final.
