IT was an especially proud time to be chairman of Warrington Wolves.

Owner Sir Ossie Davies, who rescued the club from going bust in the early 1970s, is seen above with all the silverware won by Alex Murphy's marvels in the 1973/74 season.

The trophies, from left, are the Club Championship, the Challenge Cup, the Locker Cup and the Captain Morgan Trophy, while in front of the Challenge Cup is the Player's No6 Trophy.

The whereabouts of two of these items of silverware is currently unknown and the Guardian is running an appeal to locate them.

A third rugby league trophy that remains 'whereabouts unknown' and secured several times by The Wire prior to World War one is the South West Lancashire League Trophy.

If anyone has any information regarding the silverware, contact Guardian sports editor Mike Parsons at mike.parsons@nqnw.co.uk. All information will be treated confidentially.

Lifelong Wire fan Neil Ormston, who has joined forces with the Guardian to hunt down the treasure, recently located the League Leaders' Rose Bowl that was the first silverware won by Warrington under Murphy.

That prize, defunct for its original purpose after being presented to The Wire in 1972/73, is currently presented annually to the champions of RFL League 1.
