EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the historic Forthbank Stadium on September 26th, 1995. It captures a momentous occasion as rugby legend Gavin Hastings takes to the field for his last big-game appearance before retiring from international play after the World Cup. As captain of the Barbarians, Hastings leads his team against Stirling County in what promises to be an exhilarating match. However, there is more significance to this game than meets the eye. It symbolizes County's remarkable journey from Division Seven all the way up to becoming national champions—an inspiring feat that showcases their determination and talent. Adding even more excitement to this eventful day is Princess Anne, patron of the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU), who graces Forthbank Stadium with her presence. She will have a chance to watch her son Peter Phillips showcase his skills as he plays for Gordonstoun School XV against Countys Under-18s in a curtain-raiser match scheduled for 2:15 PM. This photograph encapsulates not only a thrilling moment in sports history but also highlights the deep-rooted connections between royalty and rugby in Scotland. Torrance skillfully captures these elements through his lens, allowing us to relive this unforgettable day filled with passion and achievement within the world of rugby union during the vibrant era of the 1990s.
