Judge David Edward has enjoyed a spectacular career. After a
substantial, successful period in Scotland, both as a practicing
advocate and professor of EC law, he was appointed to the Court of
First Instance upon its creation in 1989. He was subsequently
appointed to the Court of Justice where he has served for many
years. This book has been prepared in honor of his retirement from
that position in December 2003. The contributions reflect all
aspects of Judge Edward's career as a lawyer, both in Scotland and
in Luxembourg. In keeping with the respect with which he is held,
contributions have been received from eminent members of the
Scottish and Luxembourg judiciary, academics and practitioners. Not
surprisingly, the main focus is on community law, with important
contributions on competition, institutional, substantive and
remedial issues. This book will be an essential addition to the
library of anyone with a genuine interest in community law.
Bristol Football Club (RFU), to give it its original title, is one
of the most famous Rugby Union teams in England. The club's
heritage and traditions are an important aspect of one of Britain's
leading cities. This is the first of two volumes illustrating the
history of the club with over 200 images, including action shots,
team groups, programme covers, cartoons and other items of
memorabilia. Compiled by Dave Fox and Mark Hoskins, rugby
historians and memorabilia enthusiasts of note, this book traces
the evolution from the rabble that the merged Carlton and Redland
Park teams produced in 1888 to a side brimming with international
players and sporting celebrities fifty years later. The names of
Sam Tucker and Len Corbett are etched in the history of this great
sport not only in Bristol and England but around the world. Tucker,
the tough hooker known affectionately as 'Our Sam', and the elegant
Corbett played for Bristol at the same time and both captained
England between the wars. The selection covers the time when the
club were tenants of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and
includes the move to their spiritual home on Buffalo Bill's field,
later christened the Memorial Ground and dedicated to the rugby
players of Bristol who fell in the First World War. This
fascinating book is an essential read for those interested in the
trials and tribulations of sport, its heroes, the ethos of rugby
and the city of Bristol.
