Gordon Dickson (born 10 December 1954) is a former Scotland international rugby union player.[1]
He broke his leg playing for Gala, just weeks before his wedding; and so he had to hobble down the church aisle with a cast on his leg. His wife was a Scotland international hockey player.[3]
The couple later moved to Western Australia.[3]
He played for South of Scotland District.[2]
He was capped by Scotland 'B' 3 times, between 1977 and 1978.
His first full senior cap was New Zealand in 1978. He was capped a total of 9 times.[4]
