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."
