A memoir about grass-roots rugby, belonging, and the people who make Saturdays matter.

There Will Always Be Saturday isn't really about rugby — it’s about the characters who turn up, the stories that become legend, and the club culture that carries you through even the hardest weeks.

Across twelve seasons with the Old Northamptonians 3rd XV, the book follows the team’s journey from chaos and near‑collapse to league titles, unforgettable personalities, and a brotherhood built on loyalty and heart. Featured in The Times for capturing “where rugby’s heart and soul still lives,” it’s warm, funny, and full of the humanity that defines amateur sport.

What readers are saying

“This isn’t just a book — this is scripture.”

“I read it with tears in my eyes. It captures everything special about club rugby.”

“A love letter to team sports and the friendships that shape us.”

Whether you’ve laced up a pair of boots or simply know the magic of a home club, this story will feel like stepping back into the changing room with the people who shaped your life.
