Not sure of the exact year. Maybe Jeff Slevin could shed a bit of light on it. About four Wiganers on it. There could have been five but Brian Shacklady was doing national service!

I've just done some "digging"!
This team photo is taken at Headingley, Leeds. 7th October 1960.
Yorkshire cup semi final. Huddersfield won. Beat Leeds on their own ground in a semi final! A fair result in those days as Leeds had a great team then. They also have one now!
Three weeks later the Fartowners returned to Headingley to face Wakefield Trinity in the final. Alas, they lost.
That Wakefield match I think Dave Valentine played after a long injury lay off.
