Many newcomers to our game might not fully appreciate the fact that an enormous amount has been written about it and its great history. There has also been quite a few fictional novels too and I am a writer (and a former electrical draughtsman) who has written six novels that are all inspired by my love of Rugby League and the game's many characters . In my case this started in 1947 when I first stood in the boys' pen to watch the Saints. More about that are on my web site at geofflee.net
My wish to write a novel with a rugby league background was in 1988 and was inspired by the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller" Details are found on the web site of London League Publications. Visit them at

I have also written three pages of advice on how any sports fan can write a novel based on his or her own life. If you would like me to send them to you, E Mail me at
