Bill McLaren's most famous quotes - Telegraph

[pigletwillie]

He was just brilliant at what he did and I will certainly miss his Scots burr during those big matches.

He will be missed, he was the voice of rugby to me

[Mac]

He was fantastic and will be sorely missed. It was the additional non-rugby info he used to come away with if the game wasn't up to much which also kept folk interested. The fact he's the only non capped player to be inducted into the rugby hall of fame says it all.

[SueA]

I didn't recognise the name when they mentioned his death on T.V. as I don't watch a great deal of rugby but as soon as they started playing clips of his commentary I remembered him & smiled at his descriptions!

[ginger ninger]

That is such a sad loss to Rugby, he'll he missed by so many people, I didn't realise he was 86, thought I'd put this clip on in his memory. R.I.P Bill. xx
