Saracens rugby club was founded in 1876 and the origins of the name Saracen can be traced back to the famous desert warriors led by Saladin in the late 12th century. They were renowned for their extreme mobility, and powers of endurance, which when allied to their bountiful enthusiasm, rendered the Saracens invincible.
Saracens enjoyed a successful time during the 70’s when they reached the semi-finals of the National Cup (now the Tetley Bitter Cup). The 80’s was a poor decade for Saracens and they were relegated from the top flight in 92/93 due to restructuring of the league. But, in November of 1995 Saracens gained the financial backing of Nigel Wray and this enabled the club to recruit the likes of Michael Lynagh (World Record Points Scorer), Philippe Sella (World’s Most Capped Player), Francois Pienaar (The last Captain to lift the World Cup) and Kyran Bracken (England’s up and coming scrum half), just four of the big names signed in 1996/97. Saracens, as they had so often earlier in the century, ‘up sticks’ and moved to Enfield FC’s ground and they started the new season well with a victory over title favourites Leicester. The rest of the season saw the team taking time to gel and they just missed out on European qualification finishing seventh.
In the 2008/09 season Saracens finished 9th due to poor form towards the end of the season. The season ahead is likely to be a challenging one. Richard Hill, one of the most influential squad members and one of the finest servants to Saracens rugby club has retired and he will be sorely missed
