Newport author Neal Heard, accompanied by colleague Jack Carlson, were welcomed to the Club on Monday 4th November by Officials Wynne Jones & Nigel Herbert.
The purpose of their visit was to discover some rare rugby shirts in our Museum's collection and take photographs, to be included in a new book which is scheduled to be published next year. Neal has already been successful with a previous publication called 'A lover's guide to Football Shirts' which remains available for sale on Amazon & other outlets. The new book will be titled 'A lover's guide to Rugby Shirts'.
His friend Jack a native of Boston in the USA, is equally enthusistic about original and rare sporting shirts in this case rugby. Jack is also knowlegable about the apparel and was quick to identify the crests/badges of some obscure countries.
Neal said ' We travelled west today hoping to discover maybe four or more rare shirts, but we have both been surprised and delighted to find around forty shirts which meet that criteria at Carmarthen Athletic'. Both guests spent around three hours photographing the shirts in preperation for inclusion in the new book.
We wish Neal & Jack the best of luck with this latest project and look forward to seeing the book!
