AS we count down to Wembley we would love to hear your memories of Saints games beneath the old Twin Towers.
As a teaser anyone remember that famous Tom van Vollenhoven try at Wembley?
Saints led 5-4 against Wigan with 17 minutes to go when Dick Huddart pounced on a loose ball close to the St Helens line. Stand-off Alex Murphy, who had scored the first Saints try, moved the ball wide to centre Ken Large, who beat two opponents with a sizzling burst of speed and passed to van Vollenhoven just before half way.
The Springbok ace accelerated away from Carlton and, seeing his way blocked by Griffiths, gave a return pass inside to the supporting Large.
The pair kept up their scorching pace along the touchline and two red shirted defenders raced across in a desperate effort to cover, Large whipped the ball outside to Vollenhoven once more, who streaked away to touch down between the posts after a magnificent display of controlled running and passing at speed. Pure Wembley magic!
