    In a time and World when the word ‘great’ is so often overused Doddie Wear is one man that the word ‘great’ fitted like a glove.

    He was a good player but he was a great man. His fight against MND was admirable and spoke volumes about the man. If you get the chance to watch the documentary about him it’s well worth watching.

    I was genuinely trying to be respectful, but fat fingers got in the way.

    Have to say, I 've been more of a rugby fan than football over recent years (true men trying to pretend they are not hurt, vs fairies pretending they are hurt).
    Doddie Wier was a warrior who put his body on the line. I respect that 100%.

    ‘Prentend’ ? That’s a new word for me. Could you help and tell me what it means.

    I'll leave it here, I have the utmost respect for Doddie Weir, both as an international rugby player and as a man.

    If my fat fingers let me me down somewhere, then I 100% apologise.

    Respect.

    By the way Trev (Mr Pedentic), might be worth getting the great man's name name rght in your thread title.
