Barry Ferguson - the player

[TQ3]

Who went on to the Euros?

Are you at the madam?
Who cares?
The point was that held his own at Wembley against England. And just an aside, he also won a League Cup medal at Birmingham against another top class midfield of Arsenal. Not many outside of the top 6 win any trophies in England, never mind an underdog like Brum.

Maybe he's got the painters in and his headache is excruciating.

Maybe it’s Derek?, and he is still bitter that the wee man was the better player, leader and Ranger!

Belter!

Here mate, judging by his patter - which is much like his headache btw - it might be Lego!

It’s a team game ffs. And this was back before the Nations League, increased numbers of sides and the other avenues that have been created just to ensure there’s even less chance of major nations missing out.

Not sure if this is bizarre trolling or classic FF doubling-down going on on this thread.

Got to be the former. I doubt you could even find a Celtic fan that would talk that much bollocks about Ferguson.

Ferguson was a fantastic Rangers player. Not sure why anyone would want to discredit what he done for us or his ability as a footballer tbh.

Because we have some of the weirdest supporters on the planet.

 

[Albertz Loyal]

A player never replaced

Davis kind of, and now Lundstram is the to closest we have

It wasn't just his football, it was what he demanded of the whole team

He was brilliant at Blackburn. That injury stuffed him up.

I think his own approach to the rehab didn't help either. Going out on the lash constantly because he was homesick and then incurring the wrath of Souness for continually undertaking long drives back to Scotland that ended up hurting his back.

Absolutely love Barry but he never helped himself at times. I don't think even a SAF or Wenger type would have changed him much as it's just the type of character he is.

Btw those saying he was never good enough for Man Utd, Darren Fletcher had nearly 350 appearances for them and I'd have Fergie in my team before him all day every day.

 

[Bear of Burnside]

In his second spell where he was undoubtedly a different player from his 02/03 peak he still had some magnificent performances.

Stuttgart at Ibrox and in particular the 3-0 win over Celtic in 2007. The press were working themselves into a frenzy about Brown before that game and Barry absolutely ran the show. Put a real marker down that he was still top dog.

 

[Bigbluebear]

I recjon if you are younger than mid 30s you probably don't appreciate what Ferguson was like pre injury.

Remember a game when Barry was 18/19 ,Kilmarnock at home,think it was 4 0? Got taken off with about 10 mins to go,was sensational,run the whole tempo of the game,head up all the time with the ball,love players like that, standing ovation

 

[TQ3]

run the whole tempo of the game,head up all the time with the ball,

I loved seeing him lift his head and puff his chest out with the ball at his feet. Genuinely looked like the game belonged to him.
Easily the best home grown Rangers player I have seen so far. I doubt we will see his likes again.

Yeah that puffed out chest, head up,knew everything that was going on around him,to have a player like that just now.....

 

[Colinrfc2]

Much better player for us than Gazza
The best centre midfielder I have seen play for us
