CRAIG CHALMERS - AFTER DINNER SPEAKER
SCOTTISH RUGBY INTERNATIONAL • GRAND SLAM WINNER
Craig Chalmers is a former Scottish rugby union international who became one of the country’s most respected fly-halves of the modern era. Winning 60 caps for Scotland, he was a key figure throughout the 1990s and played a major role in some memorable victories over England, France and Australia. Known for his composure, tactical vision and dependable goal-kicking, he remains a highly regarded name in Scottish rugby.
Craig is perhaps best remembered for his decisive drop goal against England at Murrayfield in 1990, a moment that helped secure Scotland’s Grand Slam and remains one of the most iconic scores in Scottish sporting history. That achievement cemented his place in rugby folklore and ensured lasting admiration from supporters across the country.
Since retiring from playing, Craig has enjoyed success in coaching and media work, bringing his experience and sharp rugby knowledge to new audiences. His understanding of elite sport, team culture and performing under pressure gives him strong appeal well beyond the rugby world.
As an after-dinner speaker, Craig is warm, witty and engaging, mixing humorous stories from his playing days with honest insight into life at the top level. Popular with sports clubs, corporate audiences and charity events alike, he is an excellent choice for any occasion seeking personality, credibility and entertaining company.
