Exe Men: The Extraordinary Rise of the Exeter Chiefs
English
By (author): Rob Kitson
Winner of the Telegraph Sports Book Awards Rugby Book of the Year
Among the best stories in modern British team sport has been the rise of Exeter Chiefs. How, exactly, did an unfashionable rugby team from Devon emerge from obscurity to become the double champions of England and Europe? What makes them tick? What are their secrets?
Exe Men is a compelling story of regional pride, fierce rural identity, larger-than-life local heroes, remarkable characters, epic resilience, big city snobbery, geographical separation, steepling ambition and personal sacrifice which will strike a chord with anyone who enjoys a classic underdog story.
This is not any old rugby book, it is the inside story of Exeters incredible journey from the edge of nowhere to the summit of the English and European club game.
