Profile
Adrian Stoop was a legendary figure for both England and Harlequins,
his most influential period being in the decade before World War One,
although he played his last game for Harlequins in 1939
when he was 56.
He went from Rugby School to Oxford University, captaining them in 1904, and
from there to Harlequins.
He made the first of his 15 England appearances in 1905, but
it was his innovative approach to the way the backs operated that
stamped his mark on the game and made Harlequins one of the leading clubs.
Until then, the two half-backs had been interchangeable, with
the role of scrum-half decided by the side of the pitch the play was on.თანამედროვე ზე-ლიგამ გააცოცხლა ეგ იდეაHe introduced designated scrum and fly-halves, an
idea already in use in Wales and New Zealand but one he fine-tuned to great effect.

often, as the Times noted in his obituary -

He was also criticised in some quarters for inspiring his Harlequins side
"to play handball not proper football". ბურთაობა დააწყებინა შიბლუჰის ნაცვლადო
Despite his burgeoning reputation he was unable to command a regular place in the England side
and a broken collar bone in 1907 raised harsh doubts about his fitness. ლავიწი ჩაუტყდა
He captained Harlequins between 1906 and 1914,
was secretary from 1905 to 1938
(barring a few war years in which won the MC) სამეცნიერო წოდება
and president from 1920 to 1950.
In 1932 he was secretary of the RFU.
The Harlequins home ground near Twickenham is named after him.
Perhaps fittingly Stoop was largely responsible for the first try
scored in an international at the larger Twickenham ground in 1910.
