Jim POLLOCK - Scotland - Scottish Rugby Caps 1982-85

Career Record: Played 8: Won 5, Drew 1, Lost 2 Test Points: 8 Tries: 2.

His retirement from top-class rugby was, he explained in 2002, simply "a career move".

He was keen to join the police; something he did in 1986. "What you don’t want

to do when you’re a policeman is to get injured," he says. "I have played in the British Police team,

touring around Europe. About three or four years after retiring I also played for Scotland

Classics in Bermuda. We won the Plate." Quote from The Scotsman Newspaper January 2002.
