Book excerpt: St Helens Rugby League Club has been host to a fantastic cavalcade of talent since 1895, with generation after generation of players maintaining the club's traditions of playing great rugby and winning trophies. The town itself has long been a successful breeding ground for rugby talent, producing such household names as legendary scrum-half Alex Murphy and modern-day superstar Keiron Cunningham. Yet the club has also searched far and wide to bring the best players from all over the world to Knowsley Road, from the Welsh valleys to South Africa, New Zealand and Western Samoa. The stories behind the signings are similarly varied and wide-ranging: Cliff Watson, a Cockney by birth, became the world's number one front-rower after answering an advertisement for 'big strong forwards' placed in the national press by the club in the early 1960s. Later, there was the intrepid swoop for centre Paul Newlove in 1995 - the world-record transfer that triggered such phenomenal success for the Saints in modern-day Super League. There have been players who have excelled not just for their club but also in the international arena, like tough-as-teak loose forward Vince Karalius and Paul Sculthorpe. Others have had less celebrated careers beyond St Helens, but all have made a significant contribution to the history of the club and become favourites of the Knowsley Road faithful. Illustrated throughout and featuring a biography and statistics for each player, this celebration of 100 of the club's greatest will delight all Saints fans.

Book excerpt: The remarkable story of 20 young American football players, convinced to compete internationally in rugby--a game they'd never heard of In 1950s Los Angeles, entrepreneur Mike Dimitro convinced a group of young American athletes to fly around the world playing rugby league, a game that was entirely new to them. Miraculously, the American All Stars competed with the best Australia, New Zealand, and France had to offer, and shocked the locals with some stunning victories. This story tells not only of the media circus and celebrity adventures, but also the All Stars' fights and flings, tragic illnesses, and farcical court cases. Dimitro's mission to establish a rugby league in the United States failed in spectacular fashion--though one All Star went on to win the Super Bowl, one became a Hollywood stuntman, and another an Olympic champion. The emergence of their remarkable story coincides with the United States's first ever qualification for the Rugby League World Cup, in 2013.

Download or read book Rugby League in Twentieth Century Britain written by Tony Collins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called ‘the greatest game of all’ by its supporters but often overlooked by the cultural mainstream, no sport is more identified with England’s northern working class than rugby league. This book traces the story of the sport from the Northern Union of the 1900s to the formation of the Super League in the 1990s, through war, depression, boom and deindustrialisation, into a new economic and social age. Using a range of previously unexplored archival sources, this extremely readable and deeply researched book considers the impact of two world wars, the significance of the game’s expansion to Australasia and the momentous decision to take rugby league to Wembley. It investigates the history of rugby union’s long-running war against league, and the sport’s troubled relationship with the national media. Most importantly, this book sheds new light on issues of social class and working-class masculinity, regional identity and the profound impact of the decline of Britain’s traditional industries. For all those interested in the history of sport and working-class culture, this is essential reading.

Book excerpt: PAUL SCULTHORPE is the man who was born to be a superstar. Touted as a future Great Britain skipper before he even played his first game as a professional, he has more than lived up to the billing over the ensuing years. The only player to ever be named Man of Steel in successive years, the St Helens captain is arguably the most talented man to grace a rugby league field in modern times. Yet Sculthorpe did not always have his sights set on Challenge Cup and Grand Final glory. As a youngster he spent his time booting a football around with brother Lee - and actually had to be forced into playing his first game of rugby. From that moment a star was born, as he went on to captain every side he represented, even though he was often playing a year above his age group. Warrington were the first to spot that potential, snapping him up on schoolboy terms, and helping shape the greatest player in Super League history. When he went hunting a bigger stage, St Helens had no hesitation paying a world record £370,000 - a transfer fee that quickly looked a bargain. Since then various rugby union clubs have sounded out the chances of tempting him into a code switch, while the biggest names in Australia would love to take the prize Pom Down Under. Throughout it all Scully has stayed true to his roots, even though that loyalty was sorely tested when knee injuries led to a whispering campaign that he was finished. Now Sculthorpe lifts the lid on a remarkable career. The highs and the lows; the friendships and the fall-outs; and where he feels his future REALLY lies. It's a no-holds barred account of one man's incredible rise to the top - and the steely determination which keeps him there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third in the exciting adventure series set in an all-action Rugby League world. Sam and Vinny start the new term at St Helens, a private school with a proud sporting tradition but all is not smooth sailing. For a start, there's considerable rivalry between the two football codes - and soccer is gaining the upper hand at the expense of league. While the headmaster is welcoming, not all the staff are so encouraging, and one at least has something to hide - he's running a highly profitable betting scam, which Sam accidentally discovers when he takes an illicit look at the teacher's computer. Meanwhile, Sam and Vinny take on the challenge of a huge scavenger hunt at St Helen's. At stake is the future of league at the school, and to complicate things further, there's a growing attraction between Sam and tamara, a talented soccer player with a father who will stop at nothing to see soccer the dominant code at the school. And if all this isn't enough to keep a boy occupied, Sam has been selected for the tri-Nations Under 15 team - will he and his team be able to triumph over New Zealand and England? Ages: 10 to 13

Download or read book A History of the Women's FA Cup Final written by Chris Slegg and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Women's FA Cup Final is an exhaustive account of fifty finals, from the first (on a bumpy field inside an athletics stadium) to the fiftieth (at Wembley, televised to millions), complete with match reports and interviews with some of the greatest players ever to grace the pitch. Every women's FA Cup Final goal scorer can be confirmed in one place for the first time, and the achievements of previously unknown record holders can at last be fully recognised. But this is more than just a stats book; it is a tribute to the pioneers of the game, who fought to overturn a fifty-year ban on female players and who paved the way for the incredible game we have today.
