A classic. I remember spotting that when it happened.

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...

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

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.

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

I nominate them two guys in '101 Challenges'. Their visit to Thailand was quite the funniest thing I've seen on the box in a while: 'Ladyboys Tea Party', classic stuff.

Perhaps Dalglish. How about Jim Baxter, he was always revered by scots I know. Or John Jeffreys who I (as an Englishman) thought was great, Liz McColgan, Sandy Lyle, Jim Watt.
