Talk:Bill McLaren

Knighthood
Please stop adding MBE and OBE after his name. As "If one is appointed to a higher class within the order, one must return one's existing insignia in exchange for the more senior one, and cease using the juniorpost-nominal letters" Quoted from Order of the British Empire —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sacul72 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

War Service & Daughter
I believe he had a quite distinguished war service.

He also had a daughter who died young which had a profound effect on him. He has an interesting personal history if anyone can help fill it in. Epeeist smudge 12:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarism from BBC site
Two of the sentences in this article (out of a small number) are copied word for word from the very BBC website that this article links to. This needs to be fixed.

JLR
Am I wrong, or Bill McLaren has been the commentator of the 1997 rugby video game "Jonah Lomu Rugby", with Bill Beaumont? Famous quote: "My goodness, that tackle could have put him in Ward 4" with the punchline by Beaumont: "I hope not, that's a maternity ward" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.48.9.20 (talk) 21:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Quotes
The article could do with some famous quotes by him, e.g. the one about a mad octopus. Also, did he really say 'They'll be dancing in the streets of Auchtermuchty tonight'? 93.96.236.8 (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
