Bristol Football Club (RFU) (Classic Matches) Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Bristol Club has played well over 4,000 rugby matches in the course of its proud history.

In this book, local rugby historian Mark Hoskins takes an in-depth look at fifty of the very best.

From the 1895 victory on Buffalo Bill's Field against northern giants Swinton to the dramatic last-minute win over Gloucester in November 2006, every game featured here is a true classic.

Wherever possible, the author has spoken to the men who played in these great matches.

Their personal memories and anecdotes greatly enrich the text and help to bring the games to life.

Relive the thrills of Bristol's great cup run of 1983; go back in time to the opening of the Memorial Ground in 1921; rediscover the titanic struggles against the cream of Welsh club rugby back in the amateur days; marvel at the heroic deeds of Jimmy Barrington, Bill Redwood, Alan Morley, Felipe Contepomi and a host of other star players.

This is an essential read for all supporters of Bristol rugby, for lovers of the sport in general and for anybody with an interest in the city of Bristol.
