Episode 19 of the Final Hooter sees us concentrate on the big result from Wembley.
Adrian Jackson and Steve Manning were hard at work getting interviews for the show while Dave Parkinson watched from home with drinks and munchies and praises the BBC's presentation of the final.
Both Dave and Adrian look back at the 1945-46 season and reflect on the final, Wembley and the joy of winning. Adrian spills the beans on Wembley security protocols and we hear from Iestyn Harris, Steve Price, Steve McNamara, Tony Gigot, Michael McIllorum and Remi Casty.
Daves goes through the fixtures ahead of this weekend and our final word contains an interesting interview that Barrow Raiders boss Paul Crarey gave to Dave a few days ago.
