Jim Taylor MBE.
It is with profound sadness and shock that we learned that Jim had died early this morning in hospital. He was not only a much-loved club member and supporter of GHK, but an inspiration to all who were lucky enough to know Jim. Love to Sandra. Rest easy, Jim.
All at GHK Rugby offer their condolences to Doddie’s family who have themselves been inspirational in their support of everything he has achieved, particularly in the last few years.

80’ Sensational finish as Calum Busby weaves his way over and the conversion by Charlie Greaves brings the final score to GHK 40 Watsonians 40. What a comeback!
11yrs ago to the day our Loving, Vibrant, Awesome son Benjamin played a Schoolboy game of Rugby.
Tragically it would be his last.
Could I ask you to remember him and post
“If In Doubt, Sit Them Out in memory of Benjamin Robinson”
Help shine a light on our darkest day. 🙏
