Horrible disease 😡- my brother died from it 🥲

RIP Doddie you will be sadly missed and your fantastic fight against such a terrible disease.

There's a lovely obituary of Doddie on the BBC website. It refers to him as 'six feet seven of glorious chaos'! I'd love to post the link but don't know how to. It's really good and well worth checking out.
Scotland is a small world and he touched so many people. I'd see him collecting at school. His brother was in DS's class at school and his sister taught DD. They must be so sad tonight as will his wife and three sons. A light has gone out.

I saw Doddie on tv 2 weeks ago when he came on to the pitch with his wife and children to present the ball at the Scotland-New Zealand match. He was looking much frailer. Such a lovely man. This will be a blow to his friend and fellow rugby player Rob Burrows. Rob’s MND appeared much more advanced than Doddie’s in their very moving documentary. Doddie was a great support to Rob.

I ve never heard of him either Shinamae
Horrible disease

RIP Doddie.

I saw him on BBC Breakfast too - he looked so very frail. Heartbreaking to see.

RIP Doddie

So sad to hear this news. RIP Doddie.

Oh, so sorry to hear this. What a man.
MND is such a nasty disease.
RIP Doddie Weir

for those who have never heard of him he was a true hero never letting his condition stop him attending anything that would help find a cure for MND .Doddie Weir, one of the best known names in Scottish rugby, has died.
A towering figure on the field, Doddie earned himself 61 caps for Scotland throughout the 1990s and was selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 1997.
In late 2016, he was given the life-changing news that he had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Determined not to give in to MND, he spearheaded efforts to find a cure for the debilitating disease. His charity, the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, has raised millions for research since it was launched in 2017.
