Budge Rogers: A Rugby Life is the long overdue biography of one of
rugby's most iconic players, Derek Prior Budge Rogers. The story of
the wing forward who lit up rugby grounds around the world in the
1960s and 1970s with dazzling and determined wing play, Rogers is a
true rugby great. He captained Bedford RFC for five seasons,
including the year they won the National Cup in his last game for
the club. He spent nine years as England captain and toured
overseas with the British Lions and Barbarians - with many a tale
to be told from these trips, which are a real highlight of his
story. Rogers's exemplary playing career was followed by years in
management and administration at the highest level as both Chairman
of England Selectors and President of the RFU. An OBE soon
followed. A player who epitomised the best values in the amateur
game, he also became a key figure in managing the difficult
transition of rugby from its amateur status into the modern,
professional game we know today. Budge Rogers: A Rugby Life gives a
unique insight into the life of this electrifying wing forward and
his time at the top of the sport.
