About Harry Lind

  • He was capped 16 times for Scotland between 1928-36 at centre.His club was Dunfermline RFC.In Scotland's Triple Crown win in 1933, when they beat Ireland 8-6 by two drop-goals (four points each in those days) to two tries (three points in those days), Lind contributed the winning goal: "Ireland were pressing on the Scottish line and leading by 6-4 when suddenly the Scottish forwards ignited a foot-rush from their own line to the Irish '25'.
  • Davy was one who had to go in to try and stop the rush and when he got up, there was Harry Lind of Dunfermline slotting the winning drop-goal.
  • 'It was some foot-rush', I remember that great Irishman saying, 'Forwards really could control the dribble in those days."
