SteveC 150 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Apparently we lost the big man yesterday if Wikipedia has the date correct. Very sad news indeed. "John Roger Shankly Hynd was a Scottish professional footballer, who played as a centre half. He started his playing career at Rangers, for whom he played in the 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, before moving to the Football League. Born: 2 February 1942, Falkirk Died: 18 February 2017 Position: Defender" Wikipedia Edited February 19, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,175 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I thought he would be the new George Young. Didn't become as good as that but was an honest, reliable player. Sad for his family. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,231 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Don't remember opposition but remember him being used as emergency centre forward and winning header from defense and then chasing it himself and winning subsequent tackle another sad loss from our past R.I.P. big guy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger "scored" in the ECWC final, only for the goal to be chalked off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Roger "scored" in the ECWC final, only for the goal to be chalked off. This was in the wake of Berwick of course, following which CF Jim Forrest (who had almost a goal game record), never played for Rangers again. And somewhere I still have the Daily Express of the next day with the headline "Rangers Wives Weep".
