Two of the greatest players in Rugby League history have been inducted into the sport’s most exclusive club, the Rugby League Hall of Fame.

Willie Horne, the most celebrated player ever to emerge from Barrow, and former Castleford and Great Britain legend Malcolm Reilly OBE were formally inducted into the Hall of Fame at a celebration dinner in association with Rugby League Cares in Huddersfield.

Hailed as Barrow’s favourite son, Willie Horne captained Barrow, Lancashire, England and Great Britain between 1943-1959.

Former Huddersfield coach Reilly’s playing career spanned three decades, during which he cemented his reputation as one of the games hard men.
