If that is the question, I’ll change by vote.Who was more important and contributed more to Rangers? Barry.
Who was the better player? Gazza. It shouldn't even be up for debate.
I should probably know who the other one is but struggling. Who?As I posted recently, only two Rangers CM’s in my football watching lifetime were better than Barry Ferguson and Paul Gascoigne was one of them.
Frankly, it isn’t even close.
Ian BlackI should probably know who the other one is but struggling. Who?
I seen the Gazza & Laudrup thread then thought Gazza played more in the CM & Laudrup was a winger.
So I thought Gazza & Barry Ferguson would be a better is comparison.
So...
Natural talent - Gazza.
Who contributed most for us - Barry Ferguson, by a mile
Remember Barry's performance against Inter at Ibrox? Top class, one of his best.Gascoigne on his day was truly world class - unplayable.
Barry was an outstanding talent and contributed more to Rangers over a longer period. It is conceivable that Scottish football held him back somewhat. Some of his best performances came in Europe against some real big names. Would have been interesting to see how his career would have developed had he went to play on the continent for a while - say Italy.
Hate to vote against Barry but in this instance it's got to be Gascoigne.
Brown in Europe ran around a lot wondering why he was getting booked for tackles he got away with in Scotland and never bossed a single opponent of any class. Barry made guys like Lothar Matthaus and Riquelme look bang average.Remember Barry's performance against Inter at Ibrox? Top class, one of his best.
There was a laughable post the other week talking about the Ferguson / brown debate. I can't remember a single occasion Brown went up against a top class player or team and ran a game.
