John Smith

Born in Ardrishaig, Scotland, John Smith took his first steps as a lawyer when he was called to the bar in 1967. Three years later, he made a bold move into politics and quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the parliamentary stage. His unwavering support for Scottish devolution played a significant role in convincing the Labour party to make this policy a top priority. A heart attack forced him to reevaluate his future in 1988, but instead of walking away from politics, Smith rose through the ranks and became leader of the party in 1992. Two years later, when he passed away, his passing sent shockwaves throughout the entire Labour party.
