TODAY, May 13, 2021 marks a special anniversary in the history of St Helens RFC – the 60th anniversary of one of the club’s greatest achievements: the 12-6 Challenge Cup final victory over Wigan at Wembley Stadium. It was the first time that the two old rivals had met at this stage and also the first time that the Saints’ players wore the famous red vee jersey, now synonymous with our team throughout the world of rugby league. It might have been quite different. Club colours at that time were white jerseys with red chest and arm bands, which had been worn in their past two visits to the famous stadium, in 1953 and 1956.
