LW 72: Ian George

Our guest this week is former London Welsh scrum half Ian George.  Ian started his senior rugby career with Northampton Saints, but struggled to get a regular starting birth at his favourite position of scrum half as he was behind a current England International and was often playing centre.  He moved to Rosslyn Park to further his International aspirations and sat on the bench a few times, but was never capped by England. He captained the Barbarians a few times in his 14 appearances and won a County Final at Twickenham with Middlesex.  Ian moved to London Welsh in 1979 and Old Deer Park was his home for the next 6 seasons where he made scrum half position his own and really enjoyed his rugby at the club.  We chat about his current role at Saracens and what its like being a parent of a professional player, travelling the world watching your offspring play.  Enjoy
