SIXTY-SEVEN past players, teammates and work colleagues lined the North Stand of The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday for one minute's applause in memory of Warrington Wolves scrum half Parry Gordon, also remembering Bob Ryan and Terry Lewis.

It was the biggest match day turnout of Wolves past players in memory and they were joined in their tribute by more than 11,500 Wolves supporters.

Bob Eccles, a forward who played alongside Gordon during the half back's 20 years with the club, said: "It was an absolutely tremendous turnout for Parry.

"It just shows the respect he gained and earned throughout his 20 years with Warrington."

Sunday's game was Wolves' first in the league since Gordon's death, aged 64, on November 3, while another club stalwart, Bob Ryan, died a week before that.

Former club physio Terry Lewis died on December 23.
