It was the early to mid-nineties, just before rugby union went professional and I had arranged to interview the father, George, at his then home in Stirling's much-maligned Raploch.
He was not in when I arrived, but his imposing wife Janette most certainly was, along with their three-year-old and the aforementioned four-legged-friend that, to the uninitiated, looked more like a domesticated bear than a friendly family pooch.
