Soft cover. Etat : New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Roy Francis had a career in rugby that lasted for more than 40 years. After club rugby union in South Wales for Brynmawr, in 1936, at the age of 17, he switched codes to play professional rugby league for Wigan. After just over two years at Central Park he moved to Barrow in January 1939, where he played regularly for the first team. When the Second World War began he joined the Army, and became a Physical Training Instructor. Despite his Welsh origins, he played for the England Rugby Union Services team and played union and league during the War. He played for the successful Dewsbury team managed by Eddie Waring. After the War he returned to Barrow and, in 1947, became the first black player to play for Great Britain. He was also capped by Wales. Many people believe he should have been chosen for the 1946 'Invincibles' British Lions tour. In 1948 he joined Warrington, and then moved to Hull. At his peak as a winger or centre, he was an exciting player with great pace and was a regular try scorer. At Hull, he became player-coach in 1951 - he is believed to be the first black coach of a senior professional team in any sport in Great Britain - and used his experience of rehabilitating injured soldiers in the War to become an outstanding, innovative coach. He built a team based on young players who won the Championship twice, reached two Challenge Cup Finals and four Yorkshire Cup Finals. He built his teams around fitness, pace and a strong pack. In 1963, he joined Leeds. He gradually rebuilt the team, introduced young talent and, after finishing top of the league table twice, won the Challenge Cup in 1968. The team's Yorkshire Cup win the same year meant that Roy had won every major domestic club honour as a coach. In 1969 he became coach of North Sydney and, after two problematic years in Australia, returned home. A short spell at Hull in 1972 was followed by winning the Premiership with Leeds in 1975 and saving Bradford from relegation in 1976. He retired from coaching in 1977. Based on detailed research, this book looks at Roy's playing and coaching careers and the development of his work. He was considered years ahead of his time and is now recognised for the ideas he introduced, ands the success he achieved. He died in 1989 at the age of 70. With a foreword by Great Britain and Wales international Jim Mills, who played for Roy in Australia, every rugby league fan will find this book of interest. The author, Peter Lush, has been involved in rugby league for over 40 years and has written widely on the game. N° de réf. du vendeur 000764
