Kingsholm: Castle Grim, Home of Gloucester Rugby, the Official History, by Malc King
Rugby has been integral to the life of Gloucester since its club was founded in 1873, and the club and its iconic stadium at Kingsholm are world famous. After the documents of its history were deposited in Gloucestershire Archives in 2007 (almost literally its next-door neighbour) a team of enthusiasts, led by Malc King, set about cataloguing them and extracting from them the club’s illustrious and sometimes surprising history. This full-colour large format illustrated hardback book is the first product of their work, offering a comprehensive history of the club, its ground and its players. Hobnob Press has produced it for Gloucester Rugby Heritage, a charity which promotes community development and education around the city’s proudest asset. 2016, 304pp colour illustrated hardback, £30.00, ISBN 978-1-906978-39-6
