    Saddened beyond belief to hear this news. Doddie was a fine well respected Scottish Rugby player of the highest quality  BUT he will always be remembered by so many for that one single phrase :~~  " My Name is Doddie "  which will always remind us of his great and inspiring courage

    Rest in peace Doddie Weir
