Spirit of Rugby

Donald Swanson, SRU "Spirit of Rugby" 2007, was honoured by his home club at the volunteer's night, when he was permitted to hang his SRU official picture in the Eastgate Clubroom, something previously reserved for players who had been capped to play for Scotland.

"In accepting these awards from Peebles Rugby Club, I would like to say, Queen Victoria had 60 glorious years on the throne of the British Empire. I have had 60 glorious years with Peebles Rugby Club. I have been paid, not financially, but by meeting many interesting people over these 60 years. I've had a great time, and I hope to be here for the next 60. Thank you."
