He made 61 international appearances for the Scotland national team. The Doddie Weir Cup was named after him. Early lifeWeir was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was educated at Daniel Stewart's and Melville College. He studied at the Scottish Agricultural College from 1988–1991, gaining a Higher National Diploma. Club careerWeir started playing rugby for Stewart's Melville FP RFC,[1] He then played for Melrose RFC in the Borders and was part of the team that won six Scottish club championships. He later moved to England in 1995 to join the Newcastle Falcons and was part of the Premiership winning side of 1997–98.[2] He also started the victorious 2001 Anglo-Welsh Cup final.[3] He moved back to Scotland to join the newly reformed Borders team in 2002 where he remained until his retirement from professional rugby. International careerWeir's first appearance for Scotland was on 10 November 1990 against {{nrut|Argentina}} at Murrayfield Stadium.[4] A mainstay of the team throughout the 1990s he was a recognisable figure around the park and fan favourite of the Murrayfield crowd. In 1997 he was the first recipient of the Famous Grouse Scotland Player of the Five Nations Award.[5] An excellent lineout specialist he was selected as part of the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 1997. Whilst on the tour he suffered a horrific knee injury, as a result of foul play, while playing against Mpumalanga Province.[1] His time in the national side dissipated in later years as Scotland began to blood the next generation of locks, with the likes of Stuart Grimes and eventual Scotland cap record holder Scott Murray coming into the team. His final appearance was in the Six Nations Championship match against France at Murrayfield, on 4 March 2000. He won 61 Scottish caps scoring 19 points from four tries (his first was under the old four points). He finished his playing career together with Gary Armstrong at The Borders in 2004. Weir was famously described by legendary commentator Bill McLaren as being "On the charge like a mad giraffe".[6] After playing careerWeir went on to work for Hutchinson Environmental Solutions, a waste management company that was started by his father-in-law. Weir was given the position of commercial director.[7] He is also active on the after-dinner speech circuit. He occasionally appears on the BBC as part of the half-time analysis during Scotland matches. Personal lifeIn June 2017, Weir announced he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (ALS) in order to promote Global MND Awareness Day.[8] In August, he spoke about plans to set up a foundation named 'My Name'5 Doddie'[9] in order to "raise funds for research into a cure for MND and to provide grants to people living with the condition".[10] On 31 October 2018, Weir appeared on BBC One's The One Show, where he stated that his charity had now raised over £1 million.[11] He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to rugby, to motor neurone disease research and to the community in the Scottish Borders.[12] The Doddie Weir Cup is a perpetual rugby union trophy for matches played between Scotland and Wales; including those matches played in the Six Nations.[13] References1. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/a-weir-and-the-likely-lads-636731.html |title=A Weir and the likely lads |first=Tim |last=Glover |work=The Independent |date=27 August 2000 |accessdate=26 September 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://stats.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/records/player/records.html?id=2529;team=249;type=tournament |title=Allied Dunbar Premiership, 1997/98 / Newcastle Falcons / Player records |publisher=espnscrum.com |accessdate=7 September 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907235203/http://stats.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/records/player/records.html?id=2529%3Bteam%3D249%3Btype%3Dtournament |archivedate=7 September 2014 |df=dmy }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/1187949.stm|title=Newcastle snatch Cup glory|publisher=BBC|date=24 February 2001|accessdate=26 December 2009}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.scotsman.com/sport/interview-doddie-weir-flushed-with-pride-as-scotland-walk-tall-once-again-1-770109 |title=Interview: Doddie Weir flushed with pride as Scotland walk tall once again |work=The Scotsman |date=27 November 2009 |accessdate=26 September 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12333532.No_grouse_as_Doddie_Weir_wins_by_a_street/ |title=No grouse as Doddie Weir wins by a street |work=The Herald |date=18 March 1997|accessdate=20 January 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Alan|first1=Tyers|title=Rugby broadcasting is barely recognisable to the days of Bill McLaren|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/sixnations/11399007/Rugby-broadcasting-is-barely-recognisable-to-the-days-of-Bill-McLaren.html|accessdate=20 June 2017|publisher=Telgraph|date=8 February 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.thejournal.co.uk/business/business-news/hutchinson-environmental-solutions-celebrates-40-6290511|title=Hutchinson Environmental Solutions celebrates 40 years |first=Coreena |last=Ford |work=The Journal |date=11 November 2013 |accessdate=26 September 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Doddie Weir diagnosed with motor neurone disease|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/40340310|website=BBC Sport|accessdate=20 June 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=My Name'5 Doddie |url=https://www.myname5doddie.co.uk/ |website=My Name'5 Doddie Foundation |accessdate=8 November 2018}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Doddie Weir: 'I don't blame rugby for my MND'|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-41073932|work=BBC News|date=29 August 2017 |accessdate=20 January 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bpth0n |title=The One Show |date=31 October 2018 |access-date=2018-12-03}} 12. ^{{London Gazette |issue=62507 |supp=y |page=N14 |date=29 December 2018}} 13. ^https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/7649870/doddie-weir-cup-wales-scotland-motor-neurone-disease-six-nations-rugby/ External links
