Jim Hamilton, former Scotland lock and British & Irish Lion, joins Arthur Dickins on Rugby Legends to share his journey from football pitches in Coventry to the world’s biggest rugby stages.

Jim talks openly about his late start in rugby, the struggles of learning skills at speed, and the setbacks that shaped his career. From Leicester to Saracens, and 63 Scotland caps, he reveals the brutal truths of injuries, leadership, and what it takes to survive at the top.

This episode also dives into Jim’s mantras, his biggest inspirations, and his transition into podcasting. Alongside career highlights, he shares emotional moments like running out with his son for his 50th cap — and the friendships he misses most about professional rugby.

Packed with wisdom for young players, hilarious stories, and raw reflections, this conversation shows why Jim Hamilton is more than just a “man mountain” — he’s a voice for resilience, honesty, and passion in rugby.
