Rugby First XV 1974 – 1975

 The First XV with coach Douglas Mitchell. Team played 1974-75 season.  I remember the names of the seated players, who were all 6th Year except for the last one, who was 5th.  In order from left to right:

Malcolm McLean

Colin Watson

Graeme Blackwood

Ivor Roy

Stephen Sproule

Jimmy Littlejohn

David Bruce

Grant Williams

Steve Boyd

Gordon Hunter (beside Curly Bill) partnered John Rutherford at Selkirk and picked up 4 Scotland caps.  I hooked the ball in the days when the put-in had to be straight.  Great days.
