England - Official Rugby Miscellany Edition – Signed by Jason Leonard
Item Number: 2161
Fully revised and updated second edition of the bestselling 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 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 legend and 2003 World Cup winner, Jason Leonard OBE. The books were signed in November 2007 and a photo of Jason signing the book is provided. Jason is simply a legend who has played a record 118 times for England, and 24 times (including 5 caps) for the British and Irish Lions, which most commentators believe is unlikely ever to be beaten. As a player with England, Leonard won the highest international accolades possible: Grand Slams and the Rugby World Cup. He is generally considered one of the greatest players of his generation and one of the most liked players in World Rugby. A super book signed by an England hero that would make a great gift. Hard back – 160 pages – Measures 186mm by 113mm
