About Gordon Waddell
- Gordon Herbert Waddell (12 April 1937 – 13 August 2012, in Glasgow) was a Scottish rugby union player, a South African politician, and the son of Herbert Waddell.
- He played for Scotland, the Barbarians and on two British and Irish Lions tours.
- In fact he is the only Scottish stand off to be a double lion.
- He had 18 caps between 1957–62 - this record for a Scotland fly-half was only later broken by John Rutherford.
- He played 12 times for the Barbarians between 1957 and 1960, scoring in three matches including their 1958 match against East Africa in Nairobi on 28 May 1958.
- In 1962 he was the controlling influence in Scotland's first win in Wales since the 1930s, a feat not repeated for another twenty years.
