128. Rugby League – A People’s History

This week’s special edition marks the 125th anniversary of the founding of rugby league, with guest presenter Dr Kevin Moore interviewing me about my new book ‘Rugby League: A People’s History’ which is published this week by scratchingshedpublishing.com.
We talk about the origins of the sport, the strengths and weaknesses of its culture, and its prospects in the 21st Century. In 13 questions, we dissect rugby league’s past, present and future.
