- Douglas_Elliot abstract "Douglas Elliot (18 April 1923 - 12 March 2005) also known as W.I.D. Elliot and Doug(ie) Elliot is a former Scottish international rugby union player, who played for Scotland. He was capped 29 times for Scotland between 1947-54. He was never dropped, but did spend at least six matches away due to injuries including the whole 1953 seasons. He was six feet three inches and over fourteen stone.He was a backrow forward, and has also been inducted to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.He was one of the few Scottish players to escape untarnished by the 44-0 defeat by South Africa during the period. Elliot was the only Scot to be named by the South African rugby correspondent R.K. Stent amongst the best players who had faced the 1951-2 Springbok tour to the British Isles.Allan Massie talking of the 1950s, said:"Elliot was my first Rugby hero, and for a long time in the Fifties, he was the only one a Scots boy could have... the Scottish sides he played in, especially in the Fifties, gave him little chance to display his attacking abilities. All the same, match reports of the time make frequent mention of Elliot bursting from the line-out to run thirty yards... He was undoubtedly the nearest thing to a forward in the classic All Black mould that Scotland produced in the twenty years after the war, for he was fast also, possessed all the basic skills, and breathed aggression. It was fitting that almost his last game for Scotland was against the All Blacks in 1954, when he captained the side that held the tourists to a single penalty goal."Bill McLaren remembers in 1947 going for a Scotland trial, and playing at the back of the line-out,"the only time the ball was thrown anywhere near there and I got it I found myself enmeshed in a vice-like grip. The feeling was of two iron bands imprisoning my arms. The bands belonging to Douglas Elliot, one of the greatest Scottish wing-forwards, whose strength had been developed in his every-day life as a son of the soil. I was much impressed by the form of temporary paralysis he imposed on my arms and it did not surprise me that he remained Scotland's most capped wing-forward with 29 appearances until John Jeffrey gained his 30th cap in the second Test against the All Blacks in Auckland in June 1990."↑ ↑ ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
