The Wire have become the Wolves. Great players have been idolised at Wilderspool and, since 2004, the magnificent Halliwell Jones Stadium. Throughout it all, Eddie Fuller has been there with his camera to catch this exciting and memorable sporting images. The 2010 season saw Warrington Wolves make history by retaining the Carnegie Challenge Cup and they did it in style by thrashing Leeds Rhinos at a sold-out Wembley Stadium. The Wolves, under inspirational coach Tony Smith, also finished third in the Engage Super League, making them none of the best teams in the country.
