Scott7 5,168 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Great thread, this, with many worthy names. I still think Willie Rae is the most notable. Here's what a gentleman named Mr Gub had to say about him in an article on FF. "Willie Rae came to Ibrox in 1946 and was mainly considered to be a half back. Any half back at Ibrox at that time was always going to be prepared to play a waiting game because Ian McColl and Sammy Cox were the first picks. Yet despite it all Willie played that waiting game as is testified by the fact that he made 181 appearances all told (inc war time) and won his two league badges in 46/47 and 55/56. That’s perseverance and loyalty to that blue jersey for you. Willie also had one League Cup (46/47) and one Scottish Cup badge (49/50) to add to his major domestic haul." Wouldn't happen today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many will remember him now as I don't but thanks for that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebear 37 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Stuart Munro - it's always Stuart Munro in this type of conversation. Never got a full international cap, he was predominantly left out for Malpas, Gough and Nicol. Also Spackman was someone who wasn't noticed until he wasn't there. Both of those guys are in the original OP's list, but they'd be mine... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barebear 37 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Scott Nisbet I'd say Nissy was more cult hero than unsung hero. In fact I'm not sure what category he fits into ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 200% better than what we now have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
