"From the first time I saw them I was a Rovers fan - for better or worse —and always will be,” - historian
Roger
Pugh of
a life-long passion that began in
1968. In this second, updated edition of the official history, he takes us back
to the founding fathers of
a club whose name has become
synonymous with
rugby league, and traces their story up
to the
present day, culminating in their
record-breaking
treble of Challenge
Cup
, League Leaders
Shield and
Super
League
Grand
Final wins of 2025.
This is a fascinating story of the of their initial growth in the late nineteenth century against all the odds; of heady
forces of economic depression in the city; of a
renaissance
and transition to becoming
‘nearly men’; the glorious
breakthrough to the
very top; followed
by
a slide into
obscurity, administration before their
rescue and
return.
That Hull Kingston Rovers have survived at all through their dark periods is testament to the determination and
dedication of men who simply would not let the club die, whose contributions should not be forgotten, their
achievements and tribulations
properly documented and
celebrated. With a foreword
by
owner
Neil
Hudgell, who has done
more than anyone to get the club to where they
are today,
It also contains profiles of iconic players through the eras,
a focus on the
great matches,
a list of club honours
and a club-by-club analysis. Putting the Robins in their social context, this meticulously researched volume will appeal not only to fans of the red
and whites of East
Hull, but equally to sporting historians and those who love a tale of defiance and pride.
