Lance Todd Trophy

Lance Todd Trophy

The Lance Todd Trophy is awarded to the Man-of-the-Match in rugby league's Challenge Cup Final.

The trophy was introduced in 1946, in memory of Lance Todd, the New Zealand-born player and administrator, who was killed in a road accident during the Second World War. The winner is selected by the members of the Rugby League Writers' Association present at the game and the trophy is presented at a celebratory dinner at The Willows, home of Salford RLFC. The trophy belongs to the Red Devils Association, the official body representing ex-Salford players.

The first winner of the trophy was Wakefield Trinity Centre, Billy Stott in 1946. St Helens' Sean Long made history in 2006 becoming the first player to win the Lance Todd Trophy three times (he also won in 2001 and 2004). Three players share the accolade of winning the trophy twice: Warrington's Gerry Helme in 1950 and 1954; Wigan's Andy Gregory in 1988 and 1990; Wigan's Martin Offiah in 1992 and 1994. Robbie Paul, Gary Connolly and Kevin Sinfield have all won the award since 1996 despite each of them finishing on the losing side in their respective finals.
