Rugby's Great Split: Class, Culture and the Origins of Rugby League Football (Sport in the Global Society)

Rating:
Summary: Social changes give birth to new sport
Review: In the same vain that Rugby League echoes the form and values of the society that created it, so does this book so eloquently capture the feeling. From students of social history and sporting significances, to pure thoroughbred Rugby League fans, this book is a well documented must in bringing to life an era that mapped a sporting destiny. If you feel a passion for modern rugby, you must read this book as it sets out the pattern by which most working class British sports tred by.
