Rugby Stories: ... and other misadventures by David Stephenson (English) Paperba

Description: Rugby Stories by David Stephenson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Rugby Stories...and other misadventures was incredibly enjoyable. Im a bit of a history buff and the one area of American rugby history I always wanted to know more about was the period in the 1960s and 70s, when the Eagles were just formulating. The generation of players that came of age during that period is only getting old and some of the stories from that time are getting lost. The greatest triumph of "Rugby Stories" is that it preserves that part of history for future generations. Written by former Eagle, UCLA, and Santa Monica player Dave Stephenson, "Rugby Stories" offers a unique take on a crucial period in U.S. rugby history. Stephensons writing style is like his play on the field, solid with a touch of bravado. He tells the story of his emergence as a school player in England, to immigrant in Los Angeles where he finds rugby once again. Stephenson has an interesting life that in and of itself is well worth a story and when you throw in rugby, it makes a great combination. The inside knowledge Stephenson provides of the early Eagles is invaluable. It was a different time back then, and while things didnt always run smoothly, the passion that all of those involved had was impressive. If there is one disappointment, its that Stephenson isnt around for years and years with the team, but thats something youll have to read about in the book. Its more than just the early history of the Eagles that makes "Rugby Stories" valuable for the American rugby fans, its the early history of UCLA and Santa Monica as well. Stephenson was part of Dennis Storers legendary Bruins squads that challenged for the World Cup with Cal and UBC, as well as in the Monterey Tournament, the unofficial national championship at the time. He was also a founding member of Santa Monica Rugby Club. This is a crucial part of American rugby history and that should make "Rugby Stories" a crucial part of your rugby book collection. I cant recommend this book highly enough. I learned so much about American rugby history that I couldnt find anywhere else.
