Terry O'Connor on son Jarrod's Grand Final debut, trophy presentation and family pride

Terry O'Connor has been in the biggest and best games rugby league has to offer. The highest-pressure situations, and the matches where the most is at stake. With that in mind, you'd think the former Wigan and Great Britain great is somewhat immune to nerves.

But this Saturday, O'Connor admits he will be more nervous than he has ever been for any of his fixtures. Not because he is walking out at Old Trafford with the Super League trophy at the 25th Grand Final - though he laughs doing it in front of the St Helens supporters housed in the Stratford End will be an experience. But because he will be watching his son follow in his own footsteps and play in a major final.

It is only the second time in Super League history a father and son have played in the Grand Final, following on from Jason Robinson and Lewis Tierney.
