EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in March 1949, this vintage print showcases the formidable Wigan rugby league team of that era. Standing tall in the back row, we see the determined faces of Hudson, Ratcliffe, Ashcroft, Barton, Slevin, White and E. H. Ward. Each player radiates strength and camaraderie as they prepare to take on their opponents. In the front row sits a group of equally passionate athletes: Nordegron, Gee, Cunliffb (sic), Egan, Mountford and Alty. Their expressions reveal a mix of focus and anticipation for what lies ahead on the field. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into an exciting period in sport history - the 1940s. Rugby league was gaining popularity across Britain during this time and teams like Wigan were at the forefront of its rise. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the dedication and passion these players had for their beloved sport. It serves as a reminder of how sports can bring communities together while showcasing individual talent. As we admire this remarkable photograph today, let's celebrate these unsung heroes who paved the way for future generations to enjoy rugby league. Their legacy lives on through images like this one.
