The wife of Scotland rugby hero Doddie Weir has told how he has been "an inspirational force of nature" as tributes flooded in following his death on Saturday.
Doddie battled motor neurone disease for six years and raised a total of £8million for research throughout his time living with the condition as he made it his mission to both raise money and awareness for the heartbreaking illness.
Doddie's wife Kathy said the 6ft 6in sportsman was brave off the field and on it, saying: "His unending energy and drive and his strength of character powered him through his rugby and business careers and, we believe, enabled him to fight the effects of MND for so many years, reports the Record.
