Southport Rugby Football Club is launching an official club sticker book to celebrate 150 years of rugby at the club!
The album is due to be published this autumn and will aim to feature every current player and coach at the club, which plays at Waterloo Road in Southport and was founded in 1872.
It is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world.
The club is taking pictures of players and coaches for the sticker album this weekend.
The new publication will be produced by W&P Stickers.
A Southport SRF spokesperson said: “This is a weekend not to miss!
“In readiness for our 150th anniversary next year, we are producing a Southport Rugby Club Panini style sticker book.
“Publication is scheduled for the autumn.
“Photos for the book will only be taken on the weekend of 11th and 12th September so please ensure that if you are playing in a team you get yourself down to Waterloo Road.
“Photos will be taken of all the teams – yes all of the teams, and you will be able to buy a sticker
book and then buy photo stickers online.
“The book will be a fantastic memento of our 150th year.
“So please support this event and turn up so your photo can be taken.
“In the meantime, albums are now available to pre-order at bit.ly/srfc150.
“The Southport RFC sticker album will feature every current player and coach, as well as a nostalgic section from the past that celebrates the club’s history.
“Our official club sticker book is to feature a nostalgic section from the past that celebrates the club’s history.
