Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys I have a wee favour to ask the knowledgable throng that is Gersnet. I work as an Illustrator/Designer and I am currently working on a football related project focusing on club greats/legends that I hope will be available online soon. The illustrations/prints will take the form of a grid stlye that depicts 28 greats from our history. (ie. 4 rows of 7 players making up the grid) Anyway, I'm in the process of editing the 28 names that could be regarded as Rangers legends/heroes/greats that will go onto this print and was wondering if anybody could comment on my list and maybe add any suggestions to help me get the definitive list. Here is my current list as it stands: 1. Moses McNeil 2. Alan Morton 3. Bill Struth 4. Davie Meiklejohn 5. Bob McPhail 6. George Young 7. Jock Shaw 8. Willie Waddell 9. Eric Caldow 10. John Greig 11. Jim Baxter 12. Scott Symon 13. Davie Wilson 14. Jimmy Millar 15. Tommy McLean 16. Alex McDonald 17. Derek Johnstone 18. Jock Wallace 19. Davie Cooper 20. Sandy Jardine 21. Graeme Souness 22. Ally McCoist 23. Andy Goram 24. Richard Gough 25. Brian Laudrup 26. Davie Weir 27. Willie Henderson 28. Walter Smith Others I considered...Willie Woodburn, Ronnie McKinnon, Ralph Brand, Peter McCloy, Willie Mathieson, Paul Gascoine, Barry Ferguson, Ian Durrant. There are names that I may have overlooked but I need to stick to the 28 names If this is not suitable for this forum please feel free to delete or move to another section. Thanks in advance, Max Rebo Edited November 6, 2012 by Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,153 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I notice you have some managers on there so if non-players are permitted then I think Walter Smith should be included. The rest of the names look pretty good to me but the omission of Colin Stein and/or Willie Johnston may irk a few people. After all subjective lists like this are never fully agreed on! PS: Stuart Munro should be the first name down IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Stuart Munro should be the first name down IMO. Walter Smith!!!!!! For goodness sake Frankie. What an idiot I am. Cheers mate. I also considered Bud Johnstone. Colin Stein didn't get one the list based on the amount of games he played TBH. Wait a minute...Willie Henderson! Back to the drawing board....Gazza might have to go I'll amend the OP to avoid the same replies about walter Smith. Shame on me... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Durrant over Ferguson. Can make an decent case for Barry, but will just be too divisive and can save and arguments by picking Durrant. Agree over Walter, with Frankie above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Barry Ferguson! That's an insult, he's a total utter cretin and the most overrated player to have played in my time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) It will be hard to keep it to 28. Some others that could be on the list from recent era: Jorg Albertz Dado Prso Ian Ferguson (got all 9IAR medals) Nacho Novo Gordon Durie Stefan Klos Arthur Numan Davie Robertson Edited November 6, 2012 by Gribz 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Barry Ferguson! That's an insult, he's a total utter cretin and the most overrated player to have played in my time. Harsh mate. He might not be my favourite but he played about 300 times for Rangers and won 5 league titles, 5 Scottish Cups and 5 League Cups 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,153 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It is very difficult to limit yourself to 28 players but it's also easy to name too many people (as the club have done with the daft Hall of Fame thing)... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to avoid the current trend of just looking at recent names when compilling lists. For example people won't probably put Ronnie McKinnon or Willie Mathieson over Gazza but these guys played over 300 games for Rangers and were instrumental in many league and cup wins. Gazza only played 77 games for Rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
