| A bit of history for you here lads, I thought I would share this photo from 1937, George VI's Coronation year. My uncle, Bill Rankin, is 5th from the left, top row.

| Great photo! A couple of those blokes on the back row look like they've had their heads "photo-shopped" onto the photo

| And the player front row 4th from left with a black eye and a theatre dummy on his right knee has a proper pair of rugby boots!

| Often wondered about the 'extra' players. I have the original photo here and that's how it appears. Who would have thought Photoshop existed in the 30's? lol

| I submitted the above photo to the Wire2Wolves heritage site. I've had a wonderful reply from Neil Dowson at the club this morning, may answer a few questions as to who the other players are
Quote Steve
Thank you for the photo. I attached a couple of other team photos with Bill on them.
Do you have any individual pictures of Bill as we don't have any.
Are you aware that Bill played prop in the 1937 Championship Final and was then sold to Rochdale in August 1937.
If you want any Warrington playing stats for Bill we can supply those.
Regards
Neil

| Is that everyone's favourite fascist dictator, the one who had that big rant when we lost to Leeds in the 2011 play-offs, 3rd from the left on the back row?
Really great images, I love this stuff. Thanks for sharing them.
