Gary Coupland

Coming Soon



Nickname: Taggart

Position: Second Row

Favourite Player: Neal & Craig Coupland

Favourite Rugby Moment: Actually getting off the ground in a lineout - think it was against Border Park in 1994 - awesome feeling. Tam was there, he saw it.(Kenny was on the wing, it ended 13 - 9 to us and the ref's name was Bob Snodgrass who incidentally also ref'd us against Creighton 2nds on December 12th 1998 - amazing facts courtesy of Tam)

Most Embarrassing Moment: Getting off the ground in a lineout against Border Park in 1994, I was that shocked I dropped the ball and my confidence never really recovered.

Extra Info: When I run it looks like i'm playing an invisible piano, which is strange because I own an invisible piano but can't play it!

Favourite Rugby Moment: Scoring my first try since May 1982 against Creichton earlier this year, being part of the victorious U15 league campaign, playing at West Park 7's while still severely under the influence. A very inebriated Bo, pishing doon his leg and onto his impromptu kilt on the bus to West Park when we went round a corner and he fell out of the on board toilet. The opening of Violetbank, as a spectator, what a grand day.

Most Embarrassing Moment: Taking 23 years to get my second club try - had 2 dis-allowed in the early 90's in the same game against Dumfries 2's, they did touch the ground Rod ya blind fooka! - but they will flood in now!! Witnessing Bo falling oot the bus toilet, weapon in hand, still pishing. Traumatised for life!! Asking Damien Cronin if he fancied a game of biddly bobs in the club on the night of the grand opening, and him saying yes!!!

Extra Info: Proud to be part of a fine 2nd's team and the cameraderie of the lads and the club in general. Hoping to train at least 5 times in 2006!!!
