Who's Who of Welsh International Rugby Players by Duncan Pierce

Who's Who of Welsh International Rugby Players by Duncan Pierce

Biographical details of all the 1,148 men who have played rugby for Wales - from the first match of 1881 to the summer of 2018. With 161 photographs - portraits, team groups and action shots - and appendices full of fascinating further information, all in a large-format hardback, this is the perfect gift for any follower of Welsh rugby.

'This is an essential work of reference for anyone with the least interest in Welsh rugbyIt is a staggeringly detailed but always human encyclopaedia, meticulously researched and brilliantly excavated. Who would have thought a mere directory could be so enthralling? If you think it might be dull, think again. Take a look and be engrossed, as I was and still am.' - Professor Gareth Williams, Welsh rugby historian

Duncan Pierce grew up near Newport in Monmouthshire. After graduating from Birmingham University with a degree in Industrial Economics, he qualified as a chartered accountant. He emigrated to Wiltshire in 1973 where in retirement he struggles to maintain a largish garden. His lifelong interest in genealogy, so useful in this book, has now become an obsession. John M Jenkins is a retired librarian who lives in West Wales. He still frequents his local library and record office in search of fresh information, much of it in this book. Timothy Auty grew up in Leeds, the son of England rugby international Dicky Auty and the jazz singer Doreen Henry. Now retired from Civil Registration, he spends his time researching the game of rugby and its players.
