Ronnie Glasgow OBE was a Scotland international rugby union player.[1]
He played for Dunfermline,[1] and Gordonians, as well as Jordanhill and Haddington.
Allan Massie stated:
"It was his misfortune to play for unfashionable clubs: Jordanhill College, Gordonians and Dunfermline. I have no doubt that had he played for Hawick or Gala or one of the big city clubs he would have represented his country more often."[2]
He was to represent two district sides. He played 21 times for North and Midlands and 6 times for Glasgow District.[3]
He was capped ten times between 1962 and 1965 for .[1]
Allan Massie considers that:
"Ron Glasgow was the most under-capped Scottish forward, winning only ten caps between 1962 and 1965... Glasgow's performance at Cardiff [in 1962] alone should have ensured him of a long reign at open-side wing-forward.[4]
Glasgow's try was the first Scottish one in Cardiff for 27 years.[5]
Robin Lind (Harry?!) who played for Dunfermline and North and Midlands said "never, ever did I think my team would lose when Ron Glasgow played for us. And very seldom we did."[2]
He was the father of Cammie Glasgow, who was also capped for Scotland.[1]
He was PE teacher at Dollar Academy and head of the school cadet force.[2] He was appointed OBE in the 1990 New Year Honours for his service with the Territorial Army/
