Take a look at "Billy B"...Rocking from side to side rubbing his hands....that meant.." Lets get on with it, I've got 4 more tries to score today!"...The greatest rugby winger of all time by a mile !..helped of course by a great team.

The 1950 team would have beaten this team. Wigan beat Huddersfield in The Championship final in 1950 with 8 reserves on as the 8 first team players were in Australia for England.

This was the same team line up as the side who faced Hull on Saturday November 15th 1958. Wigan won that one 31 - 7.
