Doddie Weir

Scotland lock and one of the game's most beloved figures, whose extraordinary community work following his MND diagnosis combined with his on-field excellence to make him a true legend of Scottish and world rugby.

Doddie Weir was Scotland's beloved and larger-than-life lock forward, whose exceptional lineout skills and dynamic play for the Borders and Scotland made him a fan favourite. After retiring, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease and spent his remaining years fundraising for MND research with extraordinary dignity and courage. He became one of Scotland's most beloved public figures before his death in 2022.
