No city in England can match Gloucester’s passion for the game of rugby. The streets are festooned in cherry and white on match days and that famous cry of ‘Glaw . . . sterrr’ can be heard far beyond the club’s Kingsholm ground.

The Gloucester Rugby Miscellany illustrates what makes Gloucester Rugby Club so special.

It features revealing and humorous interviews with some of the greats (including, to name but a few, Mike Teague, Andy Deacon and Ian Smith), historical facts, trivia, stats and stories, told by those who pulled on that famous shirt. It recalls the great matches, the cup wins, the highs, and also some of the lows.


Rob Harris shows what it means to play for and support Gloucester, a club steeped in tradition, pride and sporting excellence.

• A reader-friendly stroll through the club’s history in bite-sized snippets
• Full of quirky stories and anecdotes
• Delves deep into the history of the club to reveal little-known facts and events
• Foreword from Gloucester legend and British Lion Mike Teague
