Laurie Duff

Biography

Peter Laurance ("Laurie") Duff was born on 12 November 1912 in Bothwell, Lanarkshire, ScotlandO. Laurie and Valma were married in October 1952 in Westminster, Middlesex, EnglandO.1 He died of a heart attack on 31 October 2002 at age 89 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, ScotlandO.
Laurie was a cattle dealer. From 1936 to 1939 Laurie was a rugby player. Peter Laurence Duff, also known as Laurie Duff, was a Scottish rugby union player who represented Scotland and the British and Irish Lions in the 1930s. He played as a centre and was known for his speed and agility. He helped Scotland win the Triple Crown in 1933 and 1938, and scored two tries in two Test matches against South Africa during the 1938 British Lions tour. He is regarded as one of the greatest Scottish rugby players of all time.
The Triple Crown match was attended by King George VI following his unexpected rise in status on the abdication of his older brother and so the first time that an English monarch and his Queen found themselves supporting rival teams as Scotland faced England.
Laurie's son provides the following story about the match.
King George was English and the Queen was Scottish, so when my father was injured she sent one of her equerries down to the dressing room with the instruction that he had to get back on the field because she didn’t want them to be one man down when they were leading the English. So he went back on.” - The Herald 2017.
