M A ROBERTSON

1958 - France

Mike Robertson proved to be a versatile rugby player as a schoolboy and first played for the school 1st XV as a scrum half only to transfer into the pack in later years. On joining the FP's he soon made his mark as an energetic wing forward playing more than one occasion for the 1st XV. He completed his National Service and became a regular in 1949-50.

He was also an accomplished sevens player and was a member of the team that won the Gala tournament for the first time in 1952. In 1953 he joined Gala after he took up an business appointment in the Borders and it was as a member of that club that he was capped against France in 1958.
