London pub 25 years ago. However, thanks to one of its players, Eammon Aston-Atkinson, the team is finally having its moment in the new Amazon Prime Video documentary Steelers, a celebration of a club that is not only trailblazing but life-changing.
The film follows the Steelers as they make the biannual pilgrimage to the Bingham World Cup where, 25 years after the Steelers was formed, a further 60 clubs worldwide followed its lead, and now every two years they come together and battle it out – savagely – in the biggest gay rugby tournament in the world.
Eammon joined the Steelers five years ago after moving to London from Australia, having no idea what life lay ahead of him. As it turned out, he soon found a new family – a team of gay men.
