Our Oldest Club Cap
This Trojans cap from 1882 – on long-term loan to the World Rugby Museum – is the oldest club cap in our care, but is it the oldest in existence?.
This Christmas Card was made in Bavaria, Germany and is believed to date from the late 19th Century. Printed on the inside is the following poem-
"With fortune's football at your feet
This merry Christmas Day,
May you attain your goal, and meet
With few kicks on the way"
Handwritten on the reverse is the simple message-
'To Ted from Daisy'
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at the World Rugby Museum!
