England Wheelchair Rugby League hero Seb Bechara has lifted the lid on the boozy celebrations that followed his team's monumental World Cup triumph.
Skipper Tom Halliwell scored a late winning try to seal victory in a tense and fiery finale against France in front of a world record 4,526-strong crowd at Manchester Central. On a potentially defining night for the growth of the sport, fervent supporters watched England seal World Cup glory for the first time in 14 years.
England avenged defeats to France in the 2013 and 2017 on a memorable evening after trailing 14-12 at the halfway stage of a thrilling encounter. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the dramatic late finish prompted wild celebrations as the inspirational England side saw their hard work finally pay off.
