Sir George Beamish (1905 - 1967)
‘THE FLYING NUMBER EIGHT WITH THE WIDEST OF HORIZONS’
Beamish won his first international cap in 1925, at the age of 19, representing Ireland in that year’s Home Nations Championship in a six all draw with England. At the time he was representing Coleraine at club level. During the 1927–28 season, and now playing club rugby for Leicester, Beamish was approached to play for invitational touring team the Barbarians.
Beamish is also credited with getting the green of Ireland represented in the kit currently worn by the British and Irish Lions on the 1930 tour to New Zealand.
Ulster No.8 George Beamish was described 'as immovable as a rock' during their clash with the All Blacks in 1935
