Robert Greig (30 May 1871 – 10 January 1951) was a Scotland international rugby union player.[1]

Life

Greig was born in 1871. His elder sister was Agnes Ethel Greig. She died in 1902 and it was only later that he discovered that he had three nieces, Agnes, Elspeth and Ethel Robertson, after his late sister's son contacted him. His nieces would go on to control a large whisky business.[2]

Rugby union career

Greig played with Glasgow Academicals.[3] He was playing with the club from 1889.[4] The club had a Spring Meeting festival day in 1891. As part of that, there was a drop kick tournament to see how far the contenders could drop kick a goal. Greig won the tournament by drop kicking from 61 yards out, though it was aided by the wind.[5]

He also played for the West of Scotland District in their match against East of Scotland District on 21 January 1893.[7]

He played for Cities District against Provinces District on 23 December 1893.[8]

International career

Greig was capped twice for Scotland between 1893 and 1897.[9]
