- Book Synopsis
- This is a fascinating story of the of their initial growth in the late nineteenth century against all the odds; of heady forces of economic depression in the city; of a renaissance and transition to becoming 'nearly men'; the glorious breakthrough to the very top; followed by a slide into obscurity, administration before their rescue and return. That Hull Kingston Rovers have survived at all through their dark periods is testament to the determination and dedication of men who simply would not let the club die, whose contributions should not be forgotten, their achievements and tribulations properly documented and celebrated. With a foreword by owner Neil Hudgell, who has done more than anyone to get the club to where they are today, It also contains profiles of iconic players through the eras, a focus on the great matches, a list of club honours and a club-by-club analysis. Putting the Robins in their social context, this meticulously researched volume will appeal not only to fans of the red and whites of East Hull, but equally to sporting historians and those who love a tale of defiance and pride.
