Saints signing event: Saints Club Store, Franklin's Gardens. From 6pm Tuesday 14 November.

From Saints to Winners: The Story of Northampton Saints' Historic Double-Winning Season tells the tale of a campaign bookended by tragedy, but laden with glory. Jim Mallinder's Saints marched all the way to three finals, winning two of them, as they secured the first Premiership trophy they craved, as well as Challenge Cup glory.

The previous summer had seen the death of Leon Barwell, who did so much to bring success to Northampton, and Saints went on to do their late chairman proud. There was more heartache to come as Luis Ghaut, the young man so many had taken to their hearts, sadly passed away at the start of the following season; but courageous Luis had been able to lead his favourite team out at Twickenham and saw them win two trophies before he lost his battle with cancer.

It was a season that he was able to treasure, and one that no one who witnessed it would ever forget. The story is told by Tom Vickers, the local journalist who covered every game, home and away, and by the players and coaches who made it possible.

A  tale of agony and ecstasy unfolds over the course of Northampton Saints’ most unforgettable season. Read From Saints To Winners and you will discover:

  • How Saints overcame a summer of heartache on and off the field to claim an historic double
  • Who played the key roles in turning a team of nearly men into a team to be feared
  • What the players and management were thinking during a campaign that was to end in glory
  • How a big defeat sent Saints on a superb unbeaten run that put them in position for silverware in three competitions
  • How an inspirational mascot galvanised the squad to help see them over the line at Twickenham
  • Which player's worst fears weren't realised – being granted his chance to play in the biggest game of the season
  • How the players, management and town celebrated a stunning domestic and European success
