        Jim Leighton. Used to get great entertainment out of some of the howlers he committed for ManUre.

            John Jeffrey was good, but at his best with Finlay Calder; a good example of two players working together to be more than the sum of the parts. 2 yards behind every good open side flanker you’ll find an even better blind side flanker, so yes, Jeffrey was arguably the better. Of course, I am completely neutral and unbiased in expressing this opinion.

              You're the second to suggest him. Great though he was, many thought Jim Clark was better.

                    It's just occurred to me that Princess Anne is sort of Scottish. She's an Olympic gold medalist, and she's royal to boot. What about her?

                    PS No-one has mentioned Frank Haffey...

                      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
