Over the last few years as part of the Founders Trail we've been searching the cemeteries of Glasgow and beyond for the final resting places of those men who played such a vital role in not only forming our Club but the subsequent years thereafter. Work has already been carried out on 60 plots. In 2017 we extended the project into assisting those bereaved by the 1961 and 1971 Ibrox Disasters,to date we’ve assisted 29 families. This has ranged from the placing of new gravestones,to repairing and cleaning damaged stones and the placing of memorial plaques. It’s important that this generation of Rangers supporters remember those who have gone before,the Restoration Project also lets the bereaved families know that they’ll never be forgotten. Those men from our early years gave us so much that we still enjoy today and it’s important that we give them and our fellow supporters back a bit of dignity and respect,no-one will be left to rest in an unmarked grave. The Restoration work has only been possible because of the generous donations we’ve received from the worldwide Rangers supporters and fund raising activities. Thank you.

Still plenty of time to place your Christmas order.

As we continue to remember and honour our legends and fellow supporters we recently made contact with the family of Rangers great and record goalscorer Sam English with a view to placing a memorial plaque in his name at Cardross Crematorium.This was put in place today. We’d like to thank the family of Sam English whom it was a pleasure to meet again today at Cardross for their kind donation. Sam English. STRIKER English was one of the most prolific forwards ever to play for Rangers, having spent two years at the club from 1931 to 1933. To this day, he still holds the record for the most league goals scored by a Light Blues player in a single season. English found the net 44 times in the 1931-32 championship, a campaign in which Gers struck 118 times in total but still missed out on the title by five points to Motherwell. In total, the Irish forward scored 64 times in just 72 games for the Ibrox outfit and his was an incredible strike-rate. Sadly his career was overshadowed by his part in the incident which led to the death of Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson in September 1931. As he chased a through ball from Jimmy Fleming in the Old Firm derby, English went to shoot but his knee collided accidentally with the keeper’s head.Thomson suffered serious injuries to his skull and died in hospital a few hours after the match.English was cleared of any blame in a consequent enquiry but never fully recovered from what happened and was severely traumatised. He soon moved to Liverpool for £8,000 but retired at the age of 28, describing the latter stages of his career as ‘seven years of joyless sport’. English’s own life was cut tragically short in 1967 when he died from motor neurone disease at the age of 58. The former striker’s family donated a bowl in his name to the club in 2009 and it is now presented annually to the club’s leading goalscorer.Placed inside the accolade is a small ball for each goal English scored in that 1931-32 campaign. Kris Boyd was the inaugural recipient of the Sam English Bowl, having scored 31 times in the 2008/09 SPL and Scottish Cup-winning season. Sam English. (1931-1933) Appearances: 72 Honours: One League Championship (1932-33), one Scottish Cup (1931-32) Alfredo with the Sam English bowl which is awarded annually to our top goal scorer. 1 share
