The History of Sunderland Rugby Football Club RFC reviewed by The Northumberland Journal

05 Nov

A History of Sunderland RFC

“Books on North East rugby are few and far between, but the trend has been bucked by a fascinating history of Sunderland RFC. Titled One Among Many, Keith Gregson’s release uses the Wearside club as the focus for a much broader work, giving a superb insight into the development of the game in the region.”

The Journal reviewed the book in their Scrumdown section of the paper, a detailed full page review, and the full review is available online at JournalLive.

One Among Many is available from all good bookstores including on Amazon UK , Amazon USA, Amazon Japan, Amazon France, and Waterstones.

The book is also available in electronic formats – Amazon Kindle UK (and all Kindle countries), Barnes and Noble Nook, and via iTunes for the iPad and iPhone.

The History of Sunderland Rugby Football Club RFC by Keith Gregson nears completion

24 Jun

A History of Sunderland RFC

MX author Keith Gregson is currently putting the final touches to his history of Sunderland RFC ‘in its historical context’. Keith says that he is really pleased with the outcome.

“At first I thought that it would only be the Victorian and Edwardian periods that would be appealing with rugby union’s battle with soccer,  rugby league and  the question of professionalism, However I have found equal interest in the lmost recent  three or four decadeswith the reality of rugby union leagues, union professionalism and the growth of mini and junior rugby. Also what has happened to those in the older age brackets who now want to keep on playing competetive rugby till pensionable age”.

Keith’s book is timed nicely to be published during October’s World Cup and is already available on Amazon UK .
