Omschrijving
White Gold tells the fascinating story of Swansea RFC's first 15 years, when a group of cricketers established a football club for winter recreation, found a home at St. Helen's and how they created an open, running playing style that quickly became known and revered around the rugby world.
'an incredible insight into the formation of Swansea RFC: its characters, games played and the evolution of the 'Swansea Style'.' David Richards, Swansea, Wales and British & Irish Lions; 'White Gold describes accurately and entertainingly, the formation and rise of one of rugby's great clubs. The personalities and sometimes bizarre events will fascinate and educate the reader. There is something here for everyone and it is a valuable addition to our knowledge of early rugby in Wales.' Mike Ruddock, Swansea (player & coach), Wales & Ireland U20s (coach)
David Dow is the archivist at Swansea RFC. A former official photographer to Ospreys Rugby, he spearheaded the creation of a digital archive at Swansea RFC, in partnership with Swansea University, to protect & promote the unique cricket and rugby collection at St. Helen's.
