London Irish Rugby Club, founded in 1898, has traditionally offered a home from home for all Irishmen living in England. The tremendous spirit which has sustained the club through good times and bad and which has appealed to rugby men and women from all countries of the world is at the heart of this book, which celebrates the centenary of the Irish exiles' club. By discovering many long-lost archive papers and talking to numerous former players, officials and supporters of the club, Peter Bills has constructed a detailed account of this friendly club's existence during the last 100 years.
