We Wish You a Merry Mishmas
From all of the Blog and Podcast team, Happy Christmas to you and yours and thanks for the support, listening and commenting over the last year.
In case you missed them, here are the Statvent Calendar posts we’ve been running this month (may take a while to load!). Apologies to Tom Smith as I found the bad Christmas graphics on day 2…
21 = Number of points scored by Ian McGeechan for @Scotlandteam over 32 appearances. McGeechan was head coach for @lionsofficial on four occasions winning tours of Australia (’83) and South Africa (’97). #statventcalendar
22 = Number of caps Jim Teller won for @Scotlandteam. Telfer also made 23 appearances for @lionsofficial on 1966 tour of New Zealand and won 8 caps for @Barbarian_FC. #statventcalendar
23 = Number of serving soldiers who have played for @Scotlandteam XVs since 1945. Last serving soldier to play was Mattie Stewart who left the Army to turn professional in 1997 going on to win 34 caps for Scotland. Stewart continued to work for the Army in a public relations role. #statventcalendar
“Twen2y4Se7en” was the name of the boy band formed in 2004 which included future @Scotlandteam international and @GlasgowWarriors Thom Evans. The band toured as a support act for McFly, Peter Andre and Westlife.
@Scotlandteam won their first Grand Slam in 1925. 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of Scotland’s last Grand Slam win in 1990. #statventcalendar
