Ian McGeechan

Ian McGeechan began his career as a player -- winning more than thirty caps for Scotland and twice touring with the Lions. As coach to the Scottish national team, he led his country to a famous Grand Slam victory in the 1990 Five Nations tournament and has been appointed head coach to the Lions on four separate occasions, most recently for the 2009 tour to South Africa. And as coach of Wasps, McGeechan has guided the team to dominance in the club game.
