The happy hooker

Rugger Ditties “The First XV Sing Rugby Songs” Summit Records 1965.

This one is courtesy of lp cover lover, Andrew Flynn of Chandler, Arizona who writes “This was in my uncle’s collection from college (late 60’s). That’s Ann-Margret on the cover.   It’s just a bunch of guys singing songs in what sounds like a pub.   Not great – the cover was the best part.   Apparently “First XV” is a rugby (and sometimes soccer) term meaning “first team”. “
