Fancy meeting a couple of Warrington Wolves rugby club legends as part of Heritage Open Days?

Warrington Museum and Art Gallery will host a meet with father and son players, Mal and Mark Thomas tomorrow, Saturday, from 11am.

They will be on hand to describe how the life of a rugby star changed between the 1960s to the 1990s and beyond.

Mal Thomas won a Lancashire Cup with the Wolves (then known as 'The Wire') in 1965, while his son Mark scored the winning try against Bradford Northern in the 1991 Regal Trophy.

Fans of Warrington Wolves can also use the opportunity to check out the exhibition, A Game For All, which celebrates the club's 150th anniversary through milestone moments, key achievements and a look at what could come next.
