At the inspiration of 1st XV Manager Grant Wilson we are interviewing past Boroughmuir stars to get an update on their lives. This time it's Henry Edwards.

Henry Edwards - No.8 - BRFC

When did you come to Boroughmuir RFC, from where and why?

1985 From the “BIG APPLE”-ALLOA

Which players from your time at the club stick in your mind and why?

Too many to mention-but Gerry Dryburgh – for the amount of drink he could consume and for the night him and Shona fell on the bands drum kit at a function in the old clubhouse.

The Pyhthon Derek McLaughlin – my second row partner v Millhill when playing for the Reprobates.

Mike DeBusk for allowing me to throw one of his only shoes out the roof of the bus on the way back from Midllesborough-don’t think Dorothy has forgiven me yet!

Bruce Hay for many “bump and stay big” reasons, but mainly for him insisting we don’t pick Sean Lineen –he was not sure if Sean was good enough on his arrival from NZ - he came good in the end.

Colin Galbraith for his banter, friendship and his inability to fight with Glen “the trombone player” Millar from the Nails.

Bryan Richardson, Kenny Wilson and I teaching Christian Radacanau how to swear and drink Guinness.

What is your fondest memory of your time at Boroughmuir?

Again very difficult question to answer - all the friendships made during my time at the club - but If I had to select one it would have to be all the genuine support I received from the club members after “the lift” in the Majestic Hotel, Cromwell Road ,London.

Do you still follow the club, and if so, how?

I do ,but don’t get to the club as often as I would like.

What are you doing now, rugby – wise?

Still a member at Alloa RFC, watching my son Stuart-a stand off play, Head of Player Development for Scottish Rugby.

What are your thoughts on the state of the game in Scotland?

A very good question - I believe that there is a lot to look forward to - there are a lot of good players in the country-we all need to work hard and together to do our best for the players to allow them to play at whatever they choose. That was pretty serious after the earlier responses!!

Select your best Boroughmuir XV from the period you played at the club.

Potential to upset some old team mates here!

15. Stevie Douglas - who else?!

14. Colin McCartney - for his goal kicking to beat Pontypool!

11. Mike DeBusk - just too make up for the shoe-sorry Dorothy

4. Jon Price

6. Kenny “its up wi the bonnet of Kenny’s Capri” Wilson

7. Donald “Nessie Burger” Flockhart

8. Henry Edwards

The replacements:

16. Barry Brown

17. Peter Wright - for looking older then me when he was 17 and I was 27

18. Gerry Dryburgh - for his commitment to the jersey and willingness to play anywhere for the club

19. Graham Drummond - for learning so fast

20. John “Jock” Kerr - just to cheer him up

21. Callum “Jug Lugs” McGregor

22. Billy Darling - for nearly killing the sevens squad at Alloa Sevens!!!

My apologies to the many others who could have been in this team - what strength in depth we have.
