Scott Quinnell

Scott Quinnell’s reputation precedes him. As a rugby player the recognition and respect that his talent commanded reached a global audience. A Llanelli stalwart, he conquered both rugby codes, represented Wales on 52 occasions, toured twice with the British and Irish Lions, and played for the Barbarians.

Now a regular on Sky Sports, he is a co-presenter for ‘School of Hard Knocks,’ exploring the life changing potential of sport. For Scott this holds a particularly pertinent message – severe and undiagnosed dyslexia caused him to drop out of school, and he gives rugby the credit for providing the discipline and direction he so badly needed. Today he is a role model for people with learning difficulties and dedicates a huge amount of time to visiting schools and prisons, and to spreading the message that no-one need give up on themselves.

As a globally recognised rugby legend with an infectious sense of humour, Scott can apply his talents to a diverse range of activities.  As a speaker he is both insightful and inspirational, drawing upon experience in both his private life and the world of rugby to entertain and inform in equal measure.
