About Barry Stewart
Barry initially came to prominence in senior rugby playing for Edinburgh Academicals and earned four caps at tight-head prop for Scotland between 1996 and 2000. Three of those matches were against the All Blacks in New Zealand, with the other one being against Australia. He almost certainly would have worn the thistle many more times had it not been for a spinal injury whilst playing for Edinburgh during the 2000-01 season, which prompted the SRU to call time on his career. But he was still only 25 and not yet ready to throw in the towel on his playing career. On the advice of a neurosurgeon – who insisted the injury did not make him any more or less likely to suffer a serious accident on the field of play than any team-mate – he decided to continue playing south of the border and (initially paying his own insurance) enjoyed a further seven years as a professional prop in the Guinness Premiership and Europe with Sale Sharks and Northampton Saints. Barry is now an investment manager for Brewin Dolphin.
