They travelled to Lords as finalists in the Haig Cup in 1973 - which they Won two years later in 1975. This book is both a history of the club, its place within the wider community, and the benevolence of Sir John Roper Wright who pioneered the process of steelmaking known as "The Siemen's Process" at the nearby Elba Works with his partner Isaac Butler." .
