ian1964 10,413 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Maybe until he thought he was god after that he was mediocre to say the least. He had a few good seasons with world class players around him but when they left he thought he could play 11 positions alone.

Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Was not impressed with him in the games that he played too slow in moving ball on seems to me like another "Ma Baw" Ferguson. There is not a Scottish player at this moment that could lace Ferguson's boots! I am 30 this year and I can easily say he is the best Scottish player I have seen in my lifetime. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 30 this year and I can easily say he is the best Scottish player I have seen in my lifetime. Opinions seem to differ on that. I guess you never saw the older generation players then. Sorry I just saw you are 30 and that answers a lot. He was jut playing when you were into boyhood hero's.

All before his time though and so I'm in agreement with you vis-a vis your years 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I suppose I am slightly nostalgic due to my age in regards to Ferguson - I also have similar nostalgic memories in regards to the Ibrox atmosphere. Nothing seems to match the Parma game or the group stages against Strum Graz, Monaco and Galastasary! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I don't think I ever really understood some Rangers fans' antagonism towards Barry Ferguson. Is it to do with him leaving us in 2003 to chance his arm down south? He was an absolute Rolls Royce of a footballer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dragged us to the title in 2002-03 against one of the greatest ever Celtic sides. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not many Rangers players you could say were personally responsible for a good handful of trophies. But you could certainly say that of Barry Ferguson. Between 1998 and 2002 I wouldn't have replaced him for any central midfielder in Europe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Fergusons attitude stank. He thought he was Rangers. He was our version of Paul McStay when he came on the scene he was on the verge of greatness when he left he was still on the verge of greatness. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
