Rest in peace Doddie ❤

[@benfrewin9926]

I was one of the cameramen on this and I can honestly say that there wasn't a dry eye in the house after the Doddie film and acceptance on stage.. I know I was blubbing, we all were, as I was this evening, in my kitchen, when I heard the news on the radio. What a man he was..

[@matthewprice2626]

Back here after Rob Burrow dying. Two absolute legends. Fantastic at their craft, lovely guys and incredibly brave and inspirational after their diagnosis. R.I.P heroes.

[@MrTrapper28]

The world would be a much better place with more people like Doddie. Heartbreaking to see how this wicked disease is slowly taking hold. Doddie, what a legend and what a man!

[@Bruce-1956]

My father died of MND only 7 months after being diagnosed, that was 31 years ago.

[@MrTrapper28]

@@Bruce-1956 sorry to hear it.

Speaking as a NZer the tribute given to Doddie Weir on Remembrance Day at the 2022 test match All Blacks v Scotland will linger in the memory banks for a lifetime to come. RIP D W

[@justwilly6778]

A hero until the end. RIP. The 'Doddie Bus' (X62) still runs it's route today between Edinburgh and Galashiels. His legacy lives on to fight MND.

[@bigmazey]

Rip Doddie. A true inspiration to us all. You will never be forgotten

[@shaunpeddie1833]

How he’s walking after these years after diagnosis is brilliant. You get 1/3 year to live and he’s smashing it 4 year on and walking what a guy

[@MrCRMoir]

What an absolute inspiration Doddie is. It's an absolute shame that this will ultimately kill him, but he has most definitely brought much needed awareness and funds to this awful affliction that so many people suffer from.

[@iangarner8857]

Bless him his voice is starting to go now. What a wonderful human being. I don't know why the hell this happens to good people.

[@davidbradley622]

I hope he gets a Knighthood in the New Year Honours list - maybe Anne can put in a good word for him?

[@jiggadaboom]

David Bradley 100% Agree 👌🏼

[@bwlboy123]

What a man! A true legend of the game and an inspiration to everyone outside of it. Agree with David. It should be Sir Doddie

[@CommandoG331]

What a brave fellow. Heartbreaking.

[@jiggadaboom]

What a fucking legend! Huge respect bigman, a massive role model for kids in sport today! Feel for him and his family with what they will eventually have to go through! Xx

[@musicalmagpie741]

Doddie - I don’t especially follow sports but even I understand the impact he’s left. An extraordinary legacy. And a fan in Princess Anne. As a sports woman in her own right, she is clearly fond of Doddie. When she took the award, probably thinking the Mike was off, and said, “I won’t give it to you, too heavy. Shall I hold onto it for you?”, before breaking into a delightful smile and joking, “You’re going to have to polish it!”. She genuinely looked after him on that stage. What an unlikely but amazing pair!

[@James-lm6wt]

Never new doddie never really watched rugby just watched a documentary on bbc and you can see what a good man he is..all the best doddie

Can't believe how quickly he deteriorated after this. Rest easy fella, thanks for all your efforts raising awareness and money for MND.

[@shaunpeddie1833]

What a man. Showing great dignity. Sir Doddie
