Rugby Union legend

This is David Sole, legendary captain of Scotland's famous Grand Slam winning team of 1990. The deciding match of the tournament was against England (who else?) - the odds-on favourites and Champions in all but name in the eyes of the English based media. Of course the actual match didn't go as predicted...

Sole decided to lead his men onto the pitch in a slow walk, rather than the customary gallop. This seemed to un-nerve the English team (60,000 screaming Jocks in the stadium probably helped too!) and Scotland emerged the victors. The psychological effect of Sole's leadership was a major talking point in the press the next day.
"David Sole is another of those players who is remembered and virtually defined by one moment: in this case it was when he made the decision for his side to take the now famous walk onto the pitch for the Grand Slam decider against England at Murrayfield in 1990. As a statement of resolve, it was a masterstroke from which the English never recovered as they lost the most high-profile game in Five Nations Rugby history. It also cemented Sole's name in Scottish folklore...

He seemed to be a top bloke, and having a chat with him took my mind off the fact that I was in the bank, talking to the business manager - gulp!
