TWICKENHAM - 100 YEARS OF RUGBY'S HQ

Lavish coffee-table book celebrating the centenary of one of sport's most famous and evocative arenas.
Packed with stunning photography from the RFU's own archive and items of memorabilia plucked from the Twickenham Museum, this stunning book will also include the fascinating Twickenham memories of numerous rugby greats including Bill Beaumont, Will Carling, Jonny Wilkinson and Sir Clive Woodward.

Featuring the greatest players, the best tries and the most memorable matches ever played at the stadium – and even an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the venue which was famously converted from an outlying market garden in 1909 – this stunning book will be a fitting tribute to the 100th anniversary of Twickenham which will be celebrated throughout the season, culminating in a special celebration at England's Six Nations match against Wales on 6th February 2010.

"For a young player Twickenham is a formidable sight. There are the mountainous stands, that great expanse of exquisite turf, the thousands of yelling face, the reverberating shouts. Though at the time they are only a part of a dream from which he is shaken by the shock of a tackle or the strain of a scrummage".

Howard marshall, Oxford Varsity Match player, 1921.
