Fingers crossed he continues to play that way!

Absolute legend, for club and country. It's good he's staying on in the game to do S&C for the Borders & East Lothian academy players
Tom English does a pretty good summing up of Fordy's career imo

To repeat what I have mentioned elsewhere, I know the young guys at Edinburgh really like and respect him. He was apparently the senior player who would go most of his way to welcome them and help them integrate, and he was helpful technically.
He should prosper in the academy set up, and they benefit equally.

WIll be interesting to see how he goes as a coach. Not the most vocal but very hard working and good tecnically.
