Player Profiles

The following pages are a collection of player profiles, documenting their playing careers for Gloucester. Details have been collated from sources including Gloucestershire Archive, Gloucestershire Newspaper Group (inc. Journal, Citizen, Echo), Gloucester Rugby Records and the National Rugby Museum Records at Twickenham. But there are far more in our book “Gloucester Rugby – the Players”. However, if your candidate doesn’t appear, by all means suggest one, and if we have the available effort we will try to oblige. And if we can’t – you might like to consider supplying us with an article of your own.
