Billy Boston becomes the first ever Rugby League player to be Knighted, ending the sport's 130-year wait for such an honour. The Cardiff-born player, who is now 90, was a pioneer for black sports stars when he played for Wigan and Great Britain in the 1950s and 1960s. #sportshistory #RugbyLeague

Exciting to see my PhD student @emmyailish.bsky.social first work from her research at The Hockey Museum 🏑 #sportshistory 🗃️
For its December edition, The Hockey Museum renamed its ‘Hockey Shorts’ newsletter ‘Hockey Stockings’ with this as its leading piece- My first piece of PhD related writing for a public audience. I must try and find out what happened the next time Wales and England played- who wore the red stockings?
'England vs Wales 1934: A Colour Clash of Hockey Stockings'. Fascinating Hockey Museum article written by @icshc.bsky.social PhD student, Emmy Sale @emmyailish.bsky.social hockeymuseum.org/england-vs-w... #sportshistory #hockey #hockeyhistory

Did you know that until April 1975 women in the UK were banned from all races longer than four miles?
In the 1960s, women started to break the rules and 'crash' men's races.
Rulebreakers and Ghost Runners by @runyoung50.bsky.social tells their incredible stories.
Out 13th August.
