Notable Former Players
This is a list of former GHA players who had or went on to gain full-time professional contracts within a full-time professional rugby squad and/or achieved senior International, International A or International 7s Honours.
This list does not include players who were allocated to play for GHA in the Scottish Rugby draft whereby players from Scotland's full time professional squads - Glasgow Warriors, Edinburgh Rugby and the now defunct Border Reivers - are annually drafted by Premier One clubs to play for them on weekends when not selected for the professional teams. Although GHA have not played in Premier One under the current draft system, a precursor to the current system was in place that led to several players, including current Scotland Internationals Johnnie Beattie and John Barclay being allocated to play for them.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or players:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
