If rugby is your sport of choice you will know exactly who Al Kellock is—no introduction necessary. But just in case, Kellock is a former rugby union player who played lock for Scotland and Glasgow Warriors. He first played for Scotland in 2004, and became captain of the Warriors in 2006 where he stayed for 9 years. At an impressive 6 ft 8 inches we are pretty sure he ate all his vegetables as a child!
1. Tell us about your background in rugby and your role as an SRU Ambassador?
I started playing rugby at 5 and was privileged enough to play professionally for 13 years—4 with Edinburgh and 9 with Glasgow. 2. What is your proudest moment in your rugby career? My proudest moment has to be lifting the Pro12 cup in my last ever game as a professional player! 3. A few years ago you captained the Barbarians; how did that compare to captaining Scotland? Very different! Captaining Scotland was, until my last game, the biggest honour I had in rugby. Walking out to a packed BT Murrayfield is incredible. The Barbarians week was up there with the best fun I had in rugby—it was very relaxed but always with the edge of rugby at the top level. To be asked to captain them was special.
