Groundsmen Jack Hamblett, Roy Aspinall and Mel Jones are the three chosen ones who names don the labels of the latest set of Wire2Wolves Heritage Beers.

The bottles of real ale, which have been created by the local 4T’s Brewery, have been titled The Groundsmen to celebrate the men’s contribution to the club over many decades of service.

Mel Jones who has worked as a groundsman for the past 16 seasons, is quoted by the local news source as saying, "It was a complete surprise. It isn’t everyday that you get a beer named after you and to be used in the same line-up as Ockher and Aspinall makes it even more special.”

The two men, whose names will appear next to Mel’s in the beer line-up, played an integral role during their many years of service.

Groundsman Jack was known by everyone in the rugby league family and was the official kit man for the club but unofficially, he was a friend and confidant to the players.

Jack joined Warrington in 1919 and worked until 1979, spending 60 years as kitman and groundsman before his death in February 1991, aged 86.

Roy Aspinall was known by everybody as Ockher and had been connected with Warrington Rugby League Club for 42 years after becoming Alex Murphy’s first signing in 1971.

Roy followed the club where every the team went and his support and dedication never wavered.

The beers will act as fitting tribute to Roy, who died earlier this year, aged 76.
