A PACK of Warrington Players' Association members recently enjoyed a Christmas "get together" at the Rodney.

Those in the picture, enjoying each other’s company while having a catch-up and reminiscing about their heydays, would make for a more-than-decent 20-man squad come matchday!

They have passed on a message through the Guardian that they would like to wish all former players, the parent club and supporters a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Association are always on the lookout for former players of Warrington Wolves to join. More details, coming soon.
