dennned 172 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 a true gentleman, never has one person touched so many hearts with his commentaries on world rugby, said it as he saw it, not a bit of bias in his words, a man who taught the children of hawick, including myself, to play rugby.---R.I.P SIR BILL OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 RIP Bill. Watching rugby hasn't been the same since he retired, his knowledge of the game and players will never be matched by any other commentator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,025 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Its always a shame to lose the iconic sporting figures.....only watched the odd game of rugby myself but Bill Mclarens voice just went hand in hand with the sport....i still cant get used to watching boxing without listening to Reg Gutteridge commentating or football without Brian Moore,something you rugby fans will experience im sure.....apparently Mr.Mclaren was a kind and decent man to go with his passion for his sport......RIP Edited January 20, 2010 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swampy 147 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I grew up watching rugby on the telly with my dad and his voice in indelibly etched in my mind. Even as an englishman you could never fault his completely unbiased commentary. I hope he's (to paraphrase) "dancing in the streets of Hawick" A legend Rgds Swampy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
