Your chance to win "Robbie James: A Life in Football" - a new illustrated biography about a true Welsh sporting great
Robbie James: A Life in Football details the career of a truly great name in Welsh football: Robbie James - known to most simply as "Robbie". Making his breakthrough at the Vetch with the Swans, he was a major contributor to the club's famous rise up the leagues and into what would today be the equivalent of the Premiership: he was there for it all.
Elsewhere, Robbie remained in the top flight and played for both Stoke City & Q.P.R before moving to Leicester City and on to Bradford City, the latter where the fans voted him their favourite player across his 2 seasons with them. He then joined Cardiff City and enjoyed success with the Bluebirds under his former Swans team mate Eddie May, winning promotion as champions and the Welsh Cup in a marvellous ‘double’ winning season still remembered by the fans.
Stepping down into the Welsh League, Robbie wound down his playing career and played for Merthyr Tydfil & Llanelli AFC. His tragic death whilst playing for Llanelli is also documented, with new, first-hand accounts from those present there that terrible night. Also included are his appearances for Wales across almost a decade. "Robbie James: A Life in Football" celebrates a long career with contributions from both fans and former team mates. The book is a must for anyone interested in reading the story of a true Welsh sporting great: our Robbie.
