Sad News – Former Heriot’s Player Gordon Fisken

We are saddened to hear that former Heriot’s Rugby player Gordon Fisken passed away on 19^th April. He was in hospital and contracted COVID-19 when in there and despite giving it a good fight he unfortunately couldn¹t beat it.

Gordon, formerly a surveyor, played second row for Heriot’s 1^st XV in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  He was a well-liked player also known as Primo Fisken.

Gordon was a very keen fisherman and was one of the founders of the Heriot’s FP Angling Club – Rusky section.

The thoughts of the Heriot’s Community are with his family at this difficult time.
