Widnes Vikings are delighted to confirm that Ray Dutton will be the first of six former players inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame at our upcoming 1975 Challenge Cup 50th Anniversary Celebration.
A true icon of the club’s golden era, Dutton will be formally honoured at the celebration evening on Friday, 11th July, at the DCBL Stadium, where he will also be in attendance.
Dutton remains one of the most prolific players in the club’s history, with a remarkable 398 appearances, scoring 13 tries, a staggering 1,073 goals, 10 drop goals, and amassing an all-time club record of 2,195 points, a total that still stands to this day.
Known for his calmness under pressure and pinpoint accuracy with the boot, Dutton was instrumental during one of the most successful periods in Widnes’ history.
His honours include:
-
🏆 Rugby League First Division Title – 1977/78
-
🏆 Challenge Cup Winner – 1975
-
🏆 Lancashire Cup – 1974, 1975, 1976
-
🏆 John Player Trophy – 1976
Dutton’s outstanding contributions and incredible consistency over more than a decade have made him a deserving first inductee as we celebrate the legends of the 1970s and beyond.
This announcement marks the beginning of a series of Hall of Fame reveals, with five more inductees to be announced in the build-up to the event.
Join us on this special night to honour Ray Dutton and celebrate one of the most glorious chapters in Widnes Vikings history. Tickets available HERE.
