GRAHAM Riley was honoured at Widnes Rugby Union Club's 48th annual dinner at a packed Heath Road on Friday.

There was not a dry eye in the house as Riley received a standing ovation as he made his way to the stage to receive a framed shirt complete with name and number from football manager Jimmy O'Neill.

The award marked Riley's 40 years as a player at Widnes.

Andy O'Neill also accepted a club tie to mark the start of his new role as first-team captain, replacing the outgoing Paul Borg.

Super League referee Steve Ganson was the guest speaker.
