Warrington Wolves Valentine's Day XIII team selection 2021

We've previously brought you the best Hallowe'en, Bonfire Night and Christmas related teams with selections from all the players to have pulled on primrose and blue since 1895, and now you're going to love this line-up for February 14.

There's no past Wire players with the surname Flowers, Rose or even Chocolate, but we've nevertheless assembled a side that relates to the love and romance of Valentine's Day and any wedded bliss that follows.

1. Freddie French (kiss)

You might not remember him, but the Kiwi full-back played one game for The Wire in 1935 before enjoying success at Barrow

2. 'Hitched' Brown

'Do you take this Mann?' Just like in wedding vows, Wire would definitely always find room in their team for a 'Duane Mann'

10. Gary (strip) Tees

Gary Tees, not so much of a dancer on the field but more of a crash-bang-wallop prop

11. Tony (love) Storey

The second rower's love story with Warrington lasted from 1957 to 1958

Perfect partners, as Harry Bath is all paired up with the Challenge Cup in 1950
