Popular Post Frankie 8,151 Posted June 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2018 Unlike many of today's rich football players, Johnny was always approachable and only too happy to speak wit fans any time you bumped into him at Ibrox or, usually, in the Wee Rangers Club before his health took a turn for the worse in more recent times. A true Rangers hero who traversed eras. He'll be sadly missed. :( 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,660 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Sad news. A friend of mine regularly spoke to Mr Hubbard in the Wee Rangers Club and couldn't speak highly enough of him. We sold him to Bury, so hopefully there's a suitable moment of reflection at the match on July 6th. Edited June 21, 2018 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Very sad news and he'll be missed but he lived the dream and had a full life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,179 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Rangers have had a lot of wee wingers. JH was probably the smallest but he was a wiry man with a sharp burst of speed. He excelled in every sport he played - golf, cricket (Warwickshire wanted him) and rugby - yes, rugby and Springbok style rugby at that. The man was a winner. Read his book and find out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,660 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hubbard was the first African player to play in the European Cup (1956, Rangers vs Nice). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Oh dear very sad news, met him a few times in the WRC. Always approachable and mild mannered man, a true gentleman of a bygone era. RIP sir you will be missed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebear 37 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have very fond memories of him at his 5-a-side complex down in Ayr. Sad news. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
