Oliver Darlison made a name for himself as a fearless forward in the early 1930s before being sold to Huddersfield. His younger brother Vic was given his first run out at loose forward towards the end of another poor season in 1935/36, when Rovers sell-sell-sell policy was really taking its toll on the playing field. Vic Darlison’s true position was hooker and though it appeared that Percy Morris had a mortgage on the number nine shirt it wasn’t long before young Darlison had ousted the old-timer and made it his. His Rovers career was all too brief spanning just 51 games, before a deal was done at the beginning of 1938/39. Rovers swopped Darlison for veteran Joe Golby from Wigan. However, when Rovers won the 1940 Yorkshire Cup final, they were up against Vic Darlison. Despite being a Wigan player, Vic occasionally guested for Wakefield Trinity during the war. There was obviously no love lost between the rival number nines as both men were sent off together in the second half.

Vic Darlison later left Wigan for Bradford Northern who reached the war-time Challenge Cup finals of 1944 and 1945 where Vic played alongside Eric Batten. Vic had time in February 1945 to pop back to Featherstone to play a cheeky game for Rovers as a war-time guest player. Darlison went to Wembley with Bradford three years running from 1947 to 1949, giving him a total of five Cup final appearances.
