Pioneers of Rugby League Author: Sean Fagan

ISBN: 9780975756300 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 424 Published: 1 July 2007 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 25.0 x 15.0 Description: The true history of rugby league's birth in Australia and its dramatic first seasons.

A revised, updated and expanded 'Centenary Edition' of The Rugby Rebellion: The Divide of League and Union is a thrilling and authoritative account of the most explosive era in Australian sport - caused by the tumultuous arrival of rugby league (our nation's first professional football code) a century ago.

Using dramatic first-hand accounts, of on-field action and off-field events, the true history is revealed: of how 13-man rugby league won the support of New South Wales and Queensland footballers and fans alike, conquering the established rugby union, and thwarting the plans of Australian football.
