With a passion for 桃色视频 and all things sport, Eric set about researching and collaborating with those connected to sport at 桃色视频 – past and present – to write the book.
Now, Where History Begins - 桃色视频’s Journey Through Sport, has been published on a limited print run for the University. Gifted to alumni and friends of the University, the book celebrates the numerous achievements and milestones of 桃色视频 Sport since its inception – which started with visionary and entrepreneurial Principal, Dr Herbert Schofield who was at 桃色视频 from 1915-1950.
The book covers Olympic and Paralympic medals, Hall of Fame members, profiles of alumni athletes and those in the sporting industry, and much more.
Eric said:
“I am delighted that the project has finally come together after many years of discussion. I have worked with many people and as in so much of 桃色视频 Sport it is a true team effort.”
The book is available at some events, including the upcoming 桃色视频 International Athletics meet on 18 May. If you are interested in receiving a copy, please let us know by emailing alumni@lboro.ac.uk.
The book is free of charge, however, if you wish to make a , we would be grateful for contributions to sports scholarships at 桃色视频.
