Touting one’s horn? Disgraceful. Ladies and young children might be reading this board. On second thoughts, they’re probably not. ”Tooting” might be safer. “blowing” should be avoided. The mischief is put right by ditching “horn” for “trumpet”

The wages might make up for it but, no, Villa’s a better proposition than So'ton.

Bull’s eye. buster’s rapid fire on target again.

Correct.

I only refer to one other ‘keeper as goalie (non league family friend before Goram’s time) Goram was - is - THE goalie.

Never.

I don’t see Jock Shaw wearing that.

Never saw him play except on newsreel but read plenty and heard radio commentaries on the international matches (Peter Thomson and Raymond Glendenning) Your uncle was always rated in the press reports. Got his caps when other inside forward options were available - Steel, Hamilton, Turnbull, Wardhaugh, Johnstone. Wealth of talent and none played for Rangers or celtic. Scored against Rangers in East Fife’s League Cup semi-final victory. Every family has its black sheep.

Respect. Great footballer.

Shameless canvassing. How many times can I vote?

Blackpool’s not all that exciting is it? It’s not as though Matthews and Mortensen were still playing for them.

There’s a physical resemblance but that means nothing and I’ve only seen him on the telly in a euro match as third pick. He looked calm and solid and offered nothing spectacular. That was Ritchie’s style. You rarely saw him flying about the goal which I think is down to judgement and positioning similar to Niven before him. He must have made howling mistakes but I don’t remember them. He and Niven had solid defences in front of them which helps. @compowill be a better judge.

He wouldn’t be great as a corner keeping coach. Penalties, maybe but that is just a notion with no statistics.

I would keep him. Reminds me of Billy Ritchie. Can’t say much better than that.

Bye bye, Bobby Madman. Interesting (pace rangers_syntax) to see how he gets on.

But, but he wears a waistcoat and he supports kneeling.

An uncle married a dame Wallonne. Wonderful lady but otherwise, I share your prejudice.

der Berliner has already warned us about Union SG.

My user name suggests otherwise but Davie Wilson was the best all round winger I ever saw for Rangers. Read his book if you can get it.

That the bloke from FC de Rien?

The team in Aberlour. Is Aberlour Villa. (Don’t ask)They’re not HL, though. I’ve never been to Wick’s ground either. Don’t think I’ll bother.

City’s share of an Ibrox gate in a Scottish Cup tie in February 1952 was £6,200. They framed the cheque and hung it in the Committee room. In April same year Rangers came up to Elgin for a benefit friendly. The blue pound is a long standing institution.

A warm up for the big match against Elgin City on 6th July. B Team I suppose.

Proper fetch-and-carry inside man finishing with a lethal pass or occasional thunderbolt. I reckon he was the inspiration for the Sky Sports football ad. featuring a player in a WBA shirt cutting a weaving path through an imaginary defence, with a ballboy scampering in his wake holding up his long flowing hair like a pageboy holding a train. Netzer and Breitner in their appearance were so different from their Immediate predecessors in the W German team, short haired Teutons like Held and Schnellinger.

Bring him home.
