  1. Anyone remember George Niven's orange jersey, late 50s? Maybe it wasn't orange. Just a reddish yellow.
  2. "Stockbridge has a limited CV and again has no footballing pedigree and is not a recognised business mover." Can't be right. He won us the league last season didn't he? Got a big bonus for it so it must be true. Funny, I can't remember him scoring any goals, though.
  3. I went to one of these Red Army concerts. They started with Goad Sevv de Quveen like I've never heard it before or since. "Beat that" I thought as they segued into the old Soviet anthem. Shatteringly breathtaking! They didn't bother with the wee floorie o' Scotland, but they don't do couthy pub songs.
  4. "and I still have my own hair and teeth" So have I but there isn't quite as many as there was a time ago. I nominated Ian McMillan (along with Baxter and Sammy Cox) at the beginning of this thread citing his world class technique and world class football brain. Never saw any player who, like him, could claw down a lofted ball turn 180 degrees and give a twenty + yard accurate pass all in one movement.
  5. But there was an enquiry albeit with the result you would expect from BBC. The other bodies mentioned might - I say "might" - be different.
  6. It's an admonition not to debus your granny, so in itself it's ok.. To avoid being sexist delete "granny" and put in "grandparent". Loses the in-line rhyme, though.
  7. "they can answer questions about aim rules and what happens if we lose another defender. at very least in general terms." - gunslinger. So, AIM is happy with midfield and attack. That's a relief.
  8. You've almost persuaded me, amms, then I think about Franco Baresi. Different style of defender with TB being more of a traditional centre half. OK. I'm persuaded and I'm sure you're right about the 1988 season.
  9. Should NOMAD be blabbering to anybody other than AIM?
  10. These are all attackers, GS, and of course attackers always come to mind when you think of the best players but there's an art to defending as well not necessarily bludgeoning tackling and blocking which is why I nominated Eric Caldow. Denis Law wouldn't get into the World team ahead of your nominees but he would be available for selection. I know he wasn't a Rangers player but he damn well should have been!
  11. Gio giving the opposition the hush. All of Mikey's goals.
  12. Widening the pool to include all Scots, Gordon Smith - not our one, the Hibbee - and Denis Law. Wee jinky wisnae nor wee Wullie. Of those who wore the hoops probably only KD (after he'd gone to L'pool) and Larsson. Sorry. Forgot he was Irish.
  13. The greenyins obviously keep a case eye on events scheduled for Ibrox. I never know what's on at the Brendan Broo nor do I care.
  14. Eric Caldow beyond the shadow of a doubt and probably Sammy Cox. Ian McMillan had world-class technique and a world-class football brain and part-timer's fitness.
  15. " Does anyone know if he is a Rangers fan?" "Lewis McLeod" sounds as good a Rangers name as you could get. "Louis" might have worried me.
  16. Levy was Lewis' appointment to the board to keep tabs on SDM. Didn't quite happen. The Levy we really needed was the 'Spurs guy.
  17. "what was he like? any good?" Not bad. Ritchie and Niven were hard acts to follow and they had better defences in front of them.
  18. Real Madrid just ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.
  19. You're right. Leaving Roker was the start of the downfall. But at one time they, like Everton later, Sunderland were called the Bank of England Club. Lavish spending of the income from huge crowds in the days when the turnstyle was the only revenue source.
  20. It's got to be said, he was a footballer you would pay to watch but he is never going to hack it as a manager. Management by volcano the chairman at Swindon said. But there's something about Sunderland. A once mighty club in decline. Bruce and O'Neil both with some management credentials failed there.
  21. "i think he meant cut of his chib in fairness." BOOM BOOM!
  22. My good old 1950s reefer still sits in the wardrobe. There was an expensive version of it in silk with the crest motive repeated and for the toffs there was a blue silk number, no red and white, just the crest repeated in gold.
