This photo is of the successful Oldham side of the 1950’s which will be branded into the memory of every Oldham rugby league supporter of a certain age. It is, of course, taken during the period when the team brought back to Watersheddings the 1956-57 Championship Trophy and won the Lancashire Cup on three successive occasions.
