Northern FC - History - Beginnings (590 words) |
 | Northern Football Club has been a well-respected and well-known club throughout the rugby world and has produced 18 internationals in its 125-year history as well as Presidents of the Rugby Football Union and the Scottish Rugby Union. |
 | Over one hundred years ago, the then Northern FC and RFU President, William Cail, was instrumental in managing the successful split between the RFU and the Northern Union, (later to become the Rugby Football League). |
 | Northern has, in many respects been something of a 'sleeping giant' in the rugby sense and of course, during the 1970s and early 80s lived in the shadow of their highly successful near neighbours and 'olde enemy', Gosforth RFC. |
