Glory glory: John White with some of his Man United memorabilia
An author from NI — who is usually more entwined with all things Manchester United — has taken a break from writing about the Red Devils to pen a book dedicated to the story of Irish rugby and its roots within Ravenhill.
John White’s new work is a historical and encyclopedic account of how the Ireland rugby team came to be the top team worldwide in the sport.
