This week's former player in profile is second row, Iain Miller. 'Shaft' is an 11 year veteran in the blue and white, and was club captain 2008 - 2010, laying the foundation for future success during a period where many of the current squad came through into senior rugby. We caught up with Iain for some of his favourite Leith memories.

Favourite Moment in a Leith jersey? a victory in Hawick (or Gala?) the day Scott Torrance decided he was a player and tore them apart. Never seen Jim, Dave, Andrew, Phil and Brian celebrate like that. It meant a lot to them and they are the club, to me. That and the first tour of York: The Young Team comes of age, Rory hit by a bus etc. The best
Funniest moment down the club? Andy Mac’s stag (but which one?): Women’s clothes, human pyramids and actual scrum-downs in the lounge. He got sent home in a cab, ruined. We left to go uptown and found his L-plates and wig discarded next to the Persevere; he had eloped. He miraculously appeared in the Grassmarket an hour later; jogging down the Cowgate with smudged lipstick trying to give people high-5s
Best player(s) played with? ‘’Gentle’’ Ben Place was my top partner. Our steady scrum was taken for granted (in a good way). Most talented player was perhaps Robin Hamilton. He was comfortable anywhere from 6 to 10 which always impressed me. A great guy too despite his lasting perception at the club
Toughest training ground opponent? Jeff Sutton had a bad habit of injuring me at training. He wasn’t tough, just clumsy. Love you, Jeff
What do you miss most about Leith? the banter of course
When were you last down the club? I appear roughly once a year. Just long enough for Brian Archer to ask me “Where the f@ck have you been? ***t.”
Have you any message for the current playing squad? I can confirm that the old boy cliche’ is true. Enjoy it while it last and give 100%. You’ll regret it later if you don’t. Also, from a personal point of view, if you’re chronically injured, just retire - The eye-of-the-tiger is a real thing, and when it’s gone, it’s gone
