EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the essence of William 'Willie' Neilson (1873-1960), a Scottish International Rugby player and a prominent figure in the sport during the Victorian era. Neilson's rugged determination and unwavering focus are palpable in this image, taken in the late 1890s. Neilson began his rugby career with London Scottish RFC, before representing Scotland on the international stage. His impressive performances earned him a place in the Scottish team, where he made a significant impact. The photograph was taken during a particularly successful period for Neilson and Scottish rugby, with the team experiencing a surge in form and morale. After retiring from the game, Neilson went on to become President of the Scottish Rugby Union, a testament to his enduring love for the sport and his leadership qualities. Neilson's legacy extends beyond the field, as he is remembered as a pioneer and a true sportsman who embodied the spirit of rugby during the late 19th century. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who helped shape the history of Scottish rugby. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that has always been at the heart of the game, and a testament to the enduring appeal of rugby as a sport and a community." Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and evocative image for use in historical research, educational projects, and personal collections.
