Andy Nicol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Douglas Nicol (born 12 March 1971 in Dundee), rugby union player, was the first British player to lift the Heineken Cup as captain of Bath Rugby. He also captained the Scotland national rugby union team from scrum-half on the famous occasion in 2000 when Scotland beat England 19-13 at a rain-soaked Murrayfield and so prevented England from achieving the Grand Slam that year. He won 23 caps for Scotland.
Andy retired at the end of the 2002/3 season, but is still involved with Glasgow Rugby.
On the 16th February 2007, he was defeated in the Rectorial election at the University of Dundee. Former British Ambassador Craig Murray was duly elected Lord Rector with 632 votes to Nicol's 582.
