| Description: | "rugby-pioneers" is about rugby memorabilia and rugby history. Actually, I am quite fascinated by the early days of Football Rugby, i.e. between 1870 and 1930s. I am searching for prints, postcards, chromo, books... any kind of pictures that can tell something about rugby history and early ruggers or rugby pioneers... I will post on a regular basis pics from my own collection. |
