This wonderful gift pack contains a fully revised & updated special edition official England Rugby Miscellany!
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 & all!
With the forward written by Martin Johnson, the book is packed with"es, lists, anecdotes & trivia. You will find the result of every England match ever played, the history of Twickenham's 'cabbage patch' & the RFU's red rose crest
- even a list of vicars who have pulled on the famous white shirt.
As a special edition production, a limited number have been personally signed to the title page by the England legend & 2003 World Cup winner, Jason Leonard OBE. The books were signed in November 2007 & a photo of Jason signing the book is also provided.
Jason is simply a legend who has played a record 118 times for Engl&, & 24 times (including 5 Caps) for the British & Irish Lions, which most commentators believe unlikely ever to be beaten! As a player with Engl&, Leonard won the highest international accolades possible: Grand Slams & the Rugby World Cup.
He is generally considered one of the greatest players of his generation & one of the most liked players in World Rugby.
A super book signed by an England hero that would make a great gift!
