THE TRIUMPHANT TOUR OF THE NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALLERS 1905

One of the rarest of rugby books, this is a comprehensive account written by the team's manager, of the tour of the New Zealand rugby team in the British Isles in 1905. The All Blacks startled British rugby with the strength and quality of their play and won every match, many by huge margins, until they were defeated by Wales in the final match of the tour. Written by the team's manager.

First edition. 8vo. 176pp + ads. Numerous photos in text. Binding is loose and the covers are separate with some tears and chips to edges. Some tape to edges of covers and some dog-eared pages. Despite the faults the book is complete, including both covers, and is perfect for rebinding.
