EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1964, we are transported back to a joyous morning after the Rugby League Challenge Cup at Wembley Stadium. The victorious Lions of Wembley, representing Widnes, bask in their triumph before embarking on a visit to Trafalgar Square. Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, two stars of the game, Frank Myler and skipper Vince Karalius, can be seen feeding pigeons alongside their wives Eileen and Barbara. Their smiles radiate happiness as they revel in their team's success. The image captures not only the celebration of victory but also the camaraderie shared by these couples who have stood by their husbands throughout the grueling rugby league season. It is a testament to both teamwork on and off the field. Widnes' hard-fought victory over Hull Kingston Rovers with a scoreline of 13-5 on May 10th has etched this moment into history forever. The trophy held proudly by these lions symbolizes their dedication and skill in overcoming formidable opponents. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of an era when sport brought communities together and created lasting memories for players and fans alike. Arthur Steel's photograph encapsulates all that was cherished about rugby league during this golden age - passion, unity, and sheer joy.
