ian1964 10,390 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Published Date: 12 February 2009 By Dawn Morrison Reporter Work on a plaque commemorating Wallyford-born football hero Jock Wallace will begin soon. The round bronze plaque, to be crafted by engraver Alexander Pollock of Haddington, will feature a picture of Jock and the history of his career. Rangers Football Club has lent its support to the Wallyford Community Council project, which will see the finished article placed within the village's community centre. Goalkeeper Jock began his career with Blackpool and over the years played for Berwick Rangers, Airdrie and West Bromwich Albion. He played for and managed the Berwick Rangers side which defeated Rangers in the Scottish Cup in 1967, one of the most famous cup upsets in Scotland. Championship In 1968, Jock was made assistant manager at Hearts before going on to manage Rangers over two spells in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1972, Rangers won the Centenary Scottish Cup in the final year of his first year in charge. In 1974-1975, Rangers won the championship for the first time in 11 years. Next season they made a clean sweep with the treble, which they repeated in 1977 to 1978. Jock died in 1996, aged 60. http://www.eastlothiannews.co.uk/news/Rangers-back-Wallyford-tribute-to.4974261.jp 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
