Stephen Cooper will be appearing at theCobham Day Centre as the guest of the WFA Surrey Branch on Wednesday 16 October at 7.00 pm. He will be discussing his book, The Final Whistle: The Great War in Fifteen Players.
The Final Whistle plays tribute to the pivotal role rugby played in the Great War by following the poignant stories of fifteen men who played for Rosslyn Park, London. They came from diverse backgrounds, with players from Australia, Ceylon, Wales and South Africa, but they were united by their love of the game and their courage in the face of war.
The Final Whistle has been shortlisted for 'Rugby Book of the Year' at The British Sports Book Awards. To view a sample chapter, please click here.
