The celebrated white with a Red V jumper that features on
the cover of this book and is worn today by St George
Illawarra in the NRL is the No. 1 brand across all Australian
football codes. The Red V fanbase is the biggest and most
passionate in rugby league. Spirit of the Red V (Volume I)
is fully endorsed by the St George club, and is the major
publishing event of their centenary season. The book
explains why the club was not formed in 1908, the game’s
foundation year. It recalls their early struggles, and how
Frank Burge, another League Immortal, arrived in 1927 to
build a winning Dragons culture. This revolution brought
years of much success and then the 11 premierships, with
more glory days to follow. There are many heroes, a little
sadness, and famous and controversial games, sometimes
on fields of mud, always watched by huge crowds.
