Tommy Gray (rugby union)

Tommy Gray (20 January 1917 – 3 April 2000) was a Scotland international rugby union player.

Notably he won the Calcutta Cup against England at Murrayfield Stadium in 1950 by kicking the match-winning conversion.

[2] As a King's Own Scottish Borderer, Gray had half of his left foot blown off by an anti-tank shell in the Second World War when in the Netherlands, near Kasteel Blijenbeek.

Working for an insurance company, he was posted to Northampton; a town at the centre of the shoe industry.

Gray had special boots made and this allowed him to play rugby and also kick conversions and penalties.
