EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a momentous occasion - the Rugby centenary dinner. The grand banquet took place at the prestigious Hotel Great Central in Marylebone, following the historic Rugby Football Centenary match held at Rugby School. In this remarkable image, we see a distinguished group of individuals who played significant roles in rugby's rich history. Standing proudly from left to right are Mr J J McCrea, President of the Irish Rugby Union; Mr R F Neilson, President of the Scottish Rugby Union; Mr W W Vaughan, MVO, esteemed Headmaster of Rugby School; Mr M Walters, President of the English Rugby Union; and lastly, Mr J H Nash and Sir Henry Stephens. The photograph was taken on November 3rd, 1923 by Central News during an era when monochrome photography was prevalent. It serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to a pivotal moment in European sports history. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us not only of rugby's enduring legacy but also celebrates the camaraderie and unity that sport can foster across nations. This print is an invaluable piece capturing an unforgettable evening where influential figures gathered to honor one hundred years of rugby excellence.
