Bill McLaren: Flower of Scotland
A look back at the glorious career of the BBC's world-renowned rugby commentator, Bill McLaren, who passed away in January 2010 at the age of 86. With John Inverdale

Have to admit that I really did have a tear in my eye at the end of that, especially the look on his face at his last match when the whole stadium were singing For He's A Jolly Good Fellow - he was nearly overwhelmed. A good man with not a hint of vanity in him.
And they'll be dancing in the streets of Hawick tonight. Thank you Bill.

A lovely man.
Back in my LR stewarding days he gave me one of his Hawick mint balls!
Sadly I promptly ate it instead of keeping it safely to sell on eBay as a rare piece of BMcL memorabilia.

They are the settings for the "Other Channels" section of a Sky box / dish to be able to watch BBC Scotland. Not a time.

Was that the son in law who scored that great Scottish try against England
Very nice tribute was the documentary, didn't know that he had a daughter who died from cancer. What a very decent lovely man he was RIP.

He's a verbose buffoon, or seeing as he likes to employ German words, a total Arschloch.
