SHEFFIELD Eagles' 1998 Challenge Cup heroes will be reunited to celebrate their Wembley win over Wigan Warriors tonight.
Former coach John Kear - now Wakefield boss - who guided the club to one of the biggest upsets in the game will be joined by many of the winning squad at a special dinner.
The players include the captain and former Great Britain star Paul Broadbent and current Eagles coach Mark Aston, who was man of the match at Wembley.
Leeds Rhinos and GB star centre Keith Senior - the only member of the squad still playing as a professional - is also a guest.
Tomorrow the current Eagles team host Salford Reds, the club they beat in the semi-final to reach Wembley.
The game will be played 10 years to the day since the Challenge Cup final - May 2 1998.
"It's a fantastic week for us" said Aston.
"It'll be great getting together again as a 'squad'.
"I'd like to think that the current team will put in a massive performance tomorrow. They will be playing in the replica of the shirt we wore at Wembley and hopefully that will give us the same result."
A year after winning at Wembley, Eagles dropped out of the Super League and the club nearly died in the wake of the trauma of the 'merger' with Huddersfield Giants.
A new club was created and after winning promotion in 2006 is third in National League One - only one step on the ladder below the Super League.
Aston is confident the club is building a new future. He said: "We are improving the playing staff bit by bit. We're not doing it by spending money we haven't got. But we've got the Scholarship scheme happening now and have the Academy and the All Saints Schools partnership.
"Development is probably bigger now than it was 10 years ago when were in the Super League.
"We have kids of 13 to 16 coming through the ranks. Soon we will be announcing four to six kids we have signed through the scholarship." scheme which is massive for the club."
