John Young Rutherford (born 4 October 1955) is a former Scottish rugby union footballer who gained 42 caps at fly-half between 1979 and 1987. He played for Selkirk RFC and The South, and was chosen to tour with the British Lions in 1983, being picked to play in the test team at inside centre. His final game for Scotland was their first match in the 1987 World Cup against France, when he sustained a knee injury in the early minutes. He partnered scrum-half Roy Laidlaw in 35 tests, at the time the record for any international half-back pairing. After his exit from Scottish Rugby, John Rutherford went on to work in the financial sector, and direct a financial consultancy[1]
