Claire Bradley

We are pleased to announce that our speaker for our Sporting Dinner 2020 is former BBC Rugby Correspondent and former Scotland International - Ian Robertson.

Educated at Aberdeen and Cambridge University, Ian went on to play rugby for London Scottish and the Barbarians also winning 8 international caps for Scotland between 1968 and 1970.

In 1972, Ian Robertson joined the BBC as a rugby commentator.

Ian says that his most memorable on-air moments are Scotland winning the Grand Slams in 1984, against France, and in 1990, against England, plus Jonny Wilkinson dropping the World Cup goal in 2003.

In 2018, after covering some of the greatest rugby matches around the world for 47 years, Ian hung up his mic and retired.

A prolific author, Ian Robertson has written 30 books including the autobiographies of Bill Beaumont, Andy Irvine and Gareth Edwards. Away from rugby, Ian also wrote the family biography of Richard Burton.

Along with comedian Gary Marshall, it promises to be another great night.
