Here we honour and celebrate those who have made outstanding contributions to the Glasgow Tigers and Strathclyde Sheriffs as well as American Football in Scotland as a whole.
Players and coaches who will live long in the memory of all involved with the Tigers will be immortalised in the team’s Hall of Fame in recognition of their time and effort given over the sport.
Alan Wilson
Known to many in Scotland as Mr Football, Wilson was a former running back with the Strathclyde Sheriffs who went on to coach the Tigers for one season.
It was his time spent with the junior and youth tiger teams that would go on to be his true legacy, helping bring many young players into the game and into the team.
He went on to become an excellent referee before passing away in 2015 following a heart attack at the age of 58.
