Summary
What a pleasure it was to welcome Sir Ian McGeechan to the podcast, one of rugby’s most popular and well regarded figures, most notably for being a true legend of the world’s most famous touring team - the British & Irish Lions.
A PE and Geography teacher by profession, Ian has a great empathy with players, an ability to get the right people around him and is incredibly knowledgeable about the game. In this clip Ian describes the sacrifice his father made that he didn’t know until after he died that taught him the most valuable lesson.
