warriors.kiwi are reporting Agar's epic journey: Being here is a real 'knockout' moment
It's May 7, 1983 and Allan Agar's nervous face is beamed around the rugby league world via blurry satellite images as Featherstone Rovers eke their way to one of the greatest upsets in Challenge Cup final history, 14-12 over star-studded Hull.
His son Richard is just 11 years old, straining to understand what a cacophonous 84,969 fans at Wembley Stadium are so excited about.
Thirty-seven years later, he would experience an echoey spin on that euphoria, taking Leeds to the Royal Box at the refurbished Wembley to lift the same trophy - in front of a COVID-enforced empty house, 17-16 over Salford.
Richard can only imagine what his 75-year-old father would think of his son coaching in Las Vegas.
