Rivington Road school featuring future Saints Eddie Cunningham and David Hull RIVINGTON Road often gets overlooked as a big rugby school - but from Duggie Greenall through to Neil Holding and Roy Haggerty the school has provided plenty of future stars. It was on the playing field here where Eddie Cunningham first got to grips with rugby league - and starting a journey which would see him eventually run out at Wembley, winning the Challenge Cup with his home town Saints and then with Widnes. Cunningham also won the Lance Todd Trophy whilst with the Chemics for heroic try-scoring feat in the 1982 showpiece - despite a debilitating back injury.
