Bit of Licence with Runcorn too!
Bound to be a couple of obvious ones I have missed but not a bad team to start with.
Dutton
Bentley
E Hughesl
F Myler
Myers
T Myler
T McCue
Silcock
Elwell
Nicholls
Karalius
Adams
Laughton
M Aspey, D O'Neil, D Hulme, B Goulding, F Higgins, D Naughton etc all good candidates

Certainly --- slipped my mind. What a centre pairing he and Frank Myler would have made for Widnes. |

The first two I remember watching were Williamson and Hill - wonder how they would shape up these days with the different training methods in place now? |

Oh, and Harry Dawson. Gorgon Williamson scored 43 tries in 95 games; Harry Hill 83 in 160 games; and Dawson 95 tries and 383 goals in 248 games. |

Gus Malone was not a bad winger, and Dagnall -- not very fast but could sidestep and swerve brilliantly, though he was born in Penketh. I think the only Widnes born player to play on the wing for GB was Jim Measures. Eric Ashton had his arm broken and Mick Sullivan came off the wing into the centre and Jim Measures came out of the pack onto the wing. |

I'm sure Currier played there once against NZ after his top stint with Balmain. |
