International Rugby Board Yearbook

An annual commissioned by the sports governing body, contains everything you need to know about Rugby Union, Rugby World Cup records, International teams and records, tournament histories and records, member union information, there's even a section on referee's signals.

The Football Annual edited by C. W. ALCOCK

Alcock's football annual ran from 1869 to 1908. These annuals are amongst the rarest and most collectable of the early rugby books and cover both the Association and Rugby games.

1883 FOOTBALL ANNUAL edited by C.W. ALCOCK

1883 - There are now two major forms of football, rugby and association football. It is interesting to note in this annual in the various chapters which are mostly split by region rather than code that you can only identify which code a team is playing by the scoreline 'goals and tries' to 'goals' with the odd school result for example playing under 'Eton rules' thrown in. On the whole there is a really nice balance between the codes with opening chapters on 'The Rugby Game' by A G Guillemard, late President of the RFU (11 pages) and C. W. Alcock, Hon Sec of the Football Association (4 pages) the rules of both codes are included along with a chapter about the 'public schools with notes on the play of the champions'. This chapter includes many smaller schools, for example Derby School, St John's Foundation School, Leatherhead & Royal Academy, Gosport. One notable omission from this chapter is Rugby School itself. In total there are 213 pages and generally the focus of the annual is on the results of the previous season and of football (both codes) in the regions and schools with a nice summary included. The front and back have a lovely series of adverts which compliment the nature of this Victorian gem. 

This edition has been professionally rebound with original front and back covers laid down to the boards. The inside of the covers have been photocopied and neatly pasted inside as per original layout. Front and back end-flypapers have been added, the rest of the annual we believe to be complete and original. There is a small amount of loss to the corners to some pages and the last few pages of the annual have come loose from the re-binding. A very rare and much sought after publication

1888 The Football Annual (Auckland) edited by H.C. Poulsen (Ponsonby F.C.). An extremely rare publication featuring information relating to rugby & soccer in Auckland, New Zealand. Principally dedicated to rugby the annual covers in depth the 1887 season with real photographs of the Auckland & Ponsonby teams. The annual is an enthralling read with in depth match reports of Auckland matches from the 1887 season, perhaps the most interesting chapter of the book is titled 'My First Football Match in New Zealand about 1870' which is one man's view of his earliest rugby experience in NZ, his dialogue includes information on rules, clothing and the colourful characters from this match.

A 96 page softcover annual, complete with both covers and spine, there are a few nicks especially to the right hand corner of the front cover. Generally the binding is tight with very little foxing to the inside pages. The date 1889 has been written to the front in ink by a previous owner, even though the date 1888 appears printed on the front. Our research has shown that this is definitely the 1888 edition of this annual, the second year of publication. It was previously published in 1887 and on that occasion, it was edited by J.R.Reed. A full explanation of this can be found in the 'preface' of the annual, (illustrated). Dave McLaren's bibliography (2nd edition) seems to suggest that this is an Auckland Rugby Union publication but we are reasonably certain that it is published by the 'Auckland Star' newspaper (1870-1991), H.C. Poulsen being the sports editor at the time.
