Throwback images to celebrate our Centenary

To celebrate the club entering its 100th year, each week we will be featuring a classic image from the club archives.

Please interact with these posts on Instagram and Whatsapp by helping us to name and tag people featured, name the year, location and occasion, and any other comments or points of interest you may wish to share.

This week we’re celebrating #worldbookday by taking a look at our favourite book - “The Spirit of Rugby in Leek” authored by our very own Beverly Needham.

Beverly took up the task of compiling a history of rugby in Leek just after the club’s Twickenham Season and scoured endless reams of official club minutes, photographs and scrapbooks as well as talking with many club members past and present, to produce the definitive history of our club.

The book is full of historic moments, featuring famous (and infamous) players and members, stats, team photos, and wonderful anecdotes and memories from near on 100 years of history.

Indeed, many of the images you will see posted during our centenary year are taken from the book.

Congratulations and thank you to Bev
