Welcome to the NARLVI Website

The site dedicated to the achievements of those who

have made a significant contribution, over many years,

to our great game of rugby league, both on and off the field.

We have believed for some time that the great players

of Rugby League and their achievements should be

captured on video for posterity. What finally triggered us to

go ahead and create the “R.L.Video Archive” was the

untimely death of the late, great Trevor Foster (former

Bradford and Great Britain test star) early in 2005.

Trevor was a truly wonderful man whose love for, and

service to, the sport of Rugby League, had earned him

universal respect both within and outside our great game.

With his passing yet another legend was lost to us forever,

and we therefore decided that the time had come to

take action.

We undertook extensive research into the feasibility of

creating the archive and received considerable encourage-

ement from those who shared our love for the game.

Therefore we decided to go ahead with our plan to produce a

high quality product that would give untold pleasure to those

aficionados who want to see and hear the true greats of our

game recall their outstanding memories of their playing days

and beyond

What People say about our Interviews

Letter printed in the Rugby Leaguer &

League Express – 9^th February 2009

SUPPORT FOR VIDEO ARCHIVE

Last year I helped the National Archive of Rugby League Video Interviews to contact my cousin Dick Huddart, who was in this country on holiday from his home in Australia.

NARLVI conducted an interview with Dick which I subsequently really enjoyed watching. This motivated me to purchase several other DVD’s produced by them, all of which I enjoyed.

NARLVI have recently produced an interview with the late Vince Karalius. Having had the opportunity to view this, I would recommend that any RL fan should immediately purchase a copy of this fine tribute DVD.

I feel strongly that NARLVI should be given every assistance and encouragement to continue with their work in recording the players RL memories and preserving them for the future enjoyment of all who love this game. Nobody else seems to be producing anything along the same lines, the national TV only ever seem interested in ‘2 minute sound bites’ and to treat RL as a minority sport.

If this organization is not encouraged to continue with the fine work they are doing, so many Legends will be lost to those of us who love Rugby League.

I would encourage all fans to give themselves a real treat and purchase these DVD’s and to take an interest not only in the present day game but in the history of the game which has given so many so much pleasure over more than 100 years.
