JTP 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have not read through this whole thread. But, how can you have a list of Ranger greats that misses out 3 of the four young lads who formed the club and Tom Vallance ???? Was about to say the exact same thing. If you ask the lads from the founders trail they will probably have Tom Vallance at No1. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,168 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Dougie Gray, Tommy Muirhead, Bert Manderson and Willie McCandles (in the words of the song "two Irish backs you can't get past") Jimmy Smith, Alex Venters, Torry Gillick, Sandy Archbald, Andy Cunningham - none of us saw them play but the names are revered. You've set yourself an impossible task, Max. Number one has to be R. C. Hamilton. Top scorer with Elgin City and Rangers. Divinity.

frost 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The simple answer is that they all are and were great, some were simply greater than others, but all who wore and wear the jersey are in my eyes simply the best. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone for all the suggestions/comments. I am sorry if players were missed out in the original list but I didn't mean to offend anyone as it's early days for this wee project and I was just getting it our there to see what people thought. (as this is by far the best and most knowledgable Rangers forum by a country mile) Anyway... I've uploaded an early preview of the print (it will no doubt change). I'm not really a conventional illustrator so it's somewhat different from the archetypal pencil sketch footie illustrations. My stuff slightly humourous and caricature like. Try to imagine a print of about 30/40 odd Rangers greats done in this way on one large print Edited November 7, 2012 by Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Could you not do 4 or 5 seperate pictures? For Example: 1872 - 1914 - "The Gallant Pioneers" 1914 - 1945 - "The War Years" 1945 - 1979 - "The Golden Era" 1980 - 2012 - "The Modern Era" Doing it like this would enable you to get most peoples favourites (hopefully) ;-) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,168 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Bits of the late sixties and some of the seventies weren't too golden. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Bits of the late sixties and some of the seventies weren't too golden. I'd say it was our most successful era though. We made 3 European Finals and won 4 trebles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks again for all the comments guys. I suppose one other question for me is....would anyone buy this kind of thing or am I barking up the wrong tree? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wasp 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 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' date=' 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[/quote'] All great Rangers players,but in truth only a handful should be considered as true legends,and for an old Bear like myself,Colin Stein would definitely be part of that handful. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
