Danny Herrington

Danny's honours include,

• Scotland A

Danny joined Dundee from Hillfoots in the early 1990's along with fellow front row colleagues Bob ‘Budgie’ Cairney and John Manson. They were a formidable unit and one which a young Tom Smith was unable to force his way into prompting him to leave the club to seek 1st XV rugby elsewhere. The rest is history but the moral of the story is that Danny and his fellow 'Tillicoultry Trogs' were a consummate front row.

Danny's prowess as the hard man of Scottish club rugby earned him North and Midlands/Caledonia Reds honours plus three Scotland A caps. He even had the unenviable task of fronting up to the mighty All Black twice in 4 days in 1993 with the District and then Scotland A. He also bagged a tenaciously won try against the Springboks in 1994 for Scottish Districts.

Danny also toured New Zealand with Dundee in 1992, the first tour to the 'land of the long white cloud' by a Britsh club, and at the time of writing still the only one.

Sadly Danny died of cancer in May 2005.
