Twickenham: The Home of England Rugby
£15.10£19.00 (-21%)
Twickenham Stadium is the home of Rugby Union and the England national rugby team. It is the largest stadium in the world to be devoted purely to this sport, the second largest stadium in the UK, and the third largest in Europe. In this official publication, Phil McGowan takes us on an illustrated tour of the long and illustrious history of this magnificent stadium, featuring some of the legendary players that have trodden the hallowed ground of Twickers, the matches that have taken place, and the history that is woven into the fabric of the ground. Lavishly illustrated with images and memorabilia from the World Rugby Museum’s archive in full colour, this is a tribute not only to the history of the stadium, but to Rugby Union itself.

I bought this as a present for a relative who was extremely pleased with it and who tells me he found lots of new and interesting facts about the home of Rugby. Will probably get a copy for myself.

A much appreciated gift to an ardent rugby fan.

This book is obligatory reading for anyone interested in rugby and even more useful to people whose knowledge is limited. It is easy to read and full of fascinating facts. Phil McGowan writes in a lively, amusing style and covers all aspects of the game – it’s history, its characters and even its streakers! The book captures the importance of Twickenham and the photos are a joy. I recommend this book highly.
