Doddie Weir Bio

Doddie Weir is one of the finest rugby players to ever feature for Scotland. A fiercely combative lock, he played more than 60 times for his country over the course of a decade.

Doddie Weir was born on 4 July 1970 and began playing amateur rugby at a high level in his teenage years. During his time at Melrose RFC in the Borders, he was even part of the team that won six Scottish club championships.

In order to begin his professional career, Doddie Weir moved to England in 1995. In doing so, he signed for the Newcastle Falcons and won the Premiership in 1997-98. Following this, he experienced even more success when the Falcons won the Anglo-Welsh Cup final in 2001.

However, when the opportunity arose in 2002, Doddie Weir returned to Scotland to play for the newly-established Borders side. He stayed here until he retired a few years later.

Although he was highly successful in club rugby, his record was even more impressive at international level. He first appeared for Scotland at the end of 1990 and he was a mainstay of the side for a decade. Thought of as a lineout specialist, he was also selected for the 1997 British and Irish Lions tour.

Since retiring from rugby, Doddie Weir has announced that he’s suffering from motor neurone disease. In August 2017, he also revealed that he was establishing a foundation that would raise funds for research into a cure. In a year, he raised £1 million.

Due to his excellent playing career and impressive charitable efforts, Doddie Weir has received a number of awards. For example, Scotland and Wales play for the Doddie Weir Cup at international level. In addition, in 2019, Doddie Weir was the recipient of the Helen Rollason Award during the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony. He was also appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to rugby, to motor neurone disease research and to the community in the Scottish Borders.
