Ariel Ortega

[Porrohman]

when we beat Parma 2-0 at Ibrox, he was supposed to be the real deal and the danger man but the Ibrox faithful was on his case from the first whistle and he disappeared without even touching the ball if i remember correctly before getting subbed halfway through the first half, one of my all time fav Rangers games
p.s. sorry another thread about Parma but it was fkn great

 

[Kaiserweiss]

He was some player

Totally forgot about him to be fair

 

[Mr Wilton]

He killed his own career when he stuck the head on Van Der Sar!

 

[tonforty]

Remember seeing him first few times and thinking he was the next Maradonna.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Was he not subbed because Canavarro was red carded?

 

[RaoulDuke11]

A phenomenal player.

[Graemelins]

Best...game...EVER.

 

[BertsEBT]

I thought his best days in Europe was his year at Valencia. He was highly rated in Argentina but didn't live up to his potential at Parma to be honest.

 

[DUK_]

A phenomenal player.

So simple but just brilliant to watch.

 

[kebabloyal]

He was brilliant , had all the skill in the world but he would get you mad as he wouldnt stop diving.... playacting of the highest level

 

[WinkieWATP]

Best...game...EVER.

That line up of theirs.


pumped by Tony Vidmar

 

[Barry]

A phenomenal player.

That is disgustingly good.

 

[Tong Bear]

Unbelievable player really thought he would be the next Maradona

 

[SG 8]

Good player until. He met Tony vidmar

 

[Peter Venkman]

Always remember looking forward to watching him cannavaro, thuram when they played for Parma. What a night

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

He killed his own career when he stuck the head on Van Der Sar!

Good highlights of a good game.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Don’t think you win near 90 odd caps for Argentina if your over rated

 

[rayrangers]

What a team Holland and Argentina had back then

 

[prenzlauerbear]

A phenomenal player.

Who honestly talks like that in real life?

Great goal, all the same

 

[KensitasClub]

He was a cracking player.

 

[Flying High]

Some player. Always found it funny that his nickname was ‘Little Donkey’ though, as he wasn’t really.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Remember seeing him first few times and thinking he was the next Maradonna.

1 of many to be cursed by that tag!

 

[BluenoseAL]

im sure we were linked with him for £8mil at one point, a very special player on his day

 

[Oso de España]

Good highlights of a good game.

Thanks for the link, great game

Never forget watched that game in an outdoor bar in Magaluf. Good few hundred mostly in Rangers strips...great atmosphere,
Some big norn Irishman shouts out about Ortega in booming voice ...”poet by name, poet by nature”...
Classic

 

[Roscoblue]

Loved Ortega, what a player.

 

[Gordy Boy]

Great player, queer face.

 

[skyelander]

Great player. Thread made me have a nosey online about him. Turns out he actually only played that one season for Parma and one season for Sampdoria before that. Alcohol problem too as he got older, whilst still playing. Nearly 90 caps for Argentina so obviously still had a great career.

 

[GM_Punk]

That is disgustingly good.

Unbelievably cool finish.
