Available in hardcover and paperback, the release of the book coincides well with our Senior Squad’s friendly clash with Oxford University – of whom Lynn was coach – on Friday night.

Stuart Barnes, Times and Sunday Times Rugby Correspondent, has written the following foreward: "This is urgently in need of being read. The case against the tyranny of excessive structure has been something of a dying voice in the wilderness, especially in the English era of Eddie Jones. Lynn Evans is a disciple of the great French full back, thinker and coach, Pierre Villepreux. Across the Channel in our increasingly isolated Anglo-Saxon rugby world, fewer and fewer understand the essential argument Evans makes. Anyone with an interest in the game, either in a technical or purely pleasure based sense should read it."

‘From Valley Boy to Table Mountain: a life in Rugby’ is priced at around £15 and you can purchase your copy by clicking HERE.

In August 2020, Lynn was awarded Honorary Life Membership for his outstanding contribution to the Club and was most recently at Kingsey Road for our Vice Presidents Lunch last October.

He arrived at Chinnor as Head Coach in 1997, having already made an impression across the county.

After taking up a post at Littlemore Grammar School in 1961, he immediately introduced rugby into the curriculum and later founded Littlemore RFC.

Lynn, an elusive fly-half in his playing days, also captained Oxford RFC to their first Oxfordshire Cup triumph and played for the county.

He is best known for his time as Oxford University coach between 1981 and 1996, leading them to five Varsity Match victories.

During his ten years at Chinnor, Lynn helped the Club reach the National Leagues for the first time and proved an influential figure across the whole Club.
