I met Ian properly on the Oxbridge rugby tour to South Africa in 1993. I kept in touch with him for many years after that as our paths met due to rugby, law and/or living in Yorkshire. He was a brilliant rugby player, fiercely loyal, and he had a sharp, enquiring mind. But above all he was his own man, a true independent thinker who would be very happy zagging when everyone else zigged. I was very sad to hear that Ian had died. I hope his family gets through this tough time. Best wishes to all.
