The ultimate England rugby trivia book.
From the first ever international rugby match in 1871 to the quest for glory in France in 2007, The Official England Rugby Miscellany packs the complete history of the England rugby team into one neat little white book – William Webb Ellis, Bill Beaumont, Jonny Wilkinson and all.
With the forward written by Martin Johnson, the book is packed with quotes, lists, anecdotes and trivia. You will find the result of every England match ever played, the history of Twickenham’s ‘cabbage patch’ and the RFU’s red rose crest… even a list of vicars who have pulled on the famous white shirt. Swing Low Sweet Chariot!
As a special edition production, a limited number have been personally signed to the title page by the England 2003 World Cup winner, Will Greenwood. The books were signed on 26 March 2007 and a photo of Will signing the book is provided.
Will played 55 times for England scoring 31 tries - he played in all of England's games in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, scoring England's only try against South Africa. His try against Wales in the quarter-final in Brisbane turned the match for and he finished the World Cup 2003 tournament as joint top try scorer.
A super book signed by an England hero that would make a great gift.
