Always love contributing to these type of threads.

Stanley Matthews playing for Rangers during the war ...

My Dad's hero ...

Eric Caldow, Jim Baxter, Ralph Brand and Davy Wilson ...

Wasn't Sir Stanley Matthews 1st wife Betty Vallance, grand daughter of The Rangers first captain Tom Vallance ? I think the trainer at Stoke was also a Vallance.
He certainly had an admiration for The Rangers (sound man & great footballer).

I would never have known Roger Hynd was at Rangers alongside Ian McColl.

My dad's old uncle who first took him to Ibrox would never go to the game without a shirt and tie on.

Changed days.

Start of season 1969/70 I'm thinking.

I should know this, but who is the man in the suit standing behind Davie White?

The other side of the picture has Willie Thornton, Davie Kinnear and Joe Craven. But can't think who the last if the coaching / management team was.

Laurie Smith.

My home territory. I lived in Gourlay Street (round corner from Keppochill Road) between 1961 and 1964.

For anybody that's interested Matthews married his first wife at Bonnyton Golf Club near Eaglesham. Funnily enough Jock Stein used to golf there. The course at that time had a predominantly Jewish membership so he probably went there to get away from everybody.

As the wee fud himself said. He was third choice at Ibrox as a left half. First choice was Baxter and the second choice was a yahoo.

Changed days.

My dad started going to Ibrox in the 1930s.
His last games were at the end of season 13/14.
Always had a shirt and tie on, took me to Barcelona in 72, me with scarf on sombrero hat etc.
Him on a nice warm sunny day walking round the Ramblas in his shirt and tie.
He had a Rangers badge he wore, never wore any team colours.
Old timer loyal.

I take the yahoo you are referring to was John Little?

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

No, the yahoo was a non existant yahoo.

What the wee fud was saying is he had no chance of making it at Ibrox. Certainly not with Baxter there.

 

[Willem Bear]

Ok, thanks for that. I had heard before that John Little had been sidelined at Ibrox because he had married an RC. This came from an older generation Aberdeen supporter, who worked with Little in an RC school when they were both PE teachers, after Little had left Rangers.

Willie Stevenson also.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Willie Stevenson also.

Very ironic that we could have done with Willie Stevenson at left half when Baxter left. By that time Stevenson was making his name at Liverpool.

It would have been ideal,but Stevenson wasn’t prepared to play reserve football.

 

[Cuthbert Dibble and Grub]

Is that Stuart Monroe (back row, next to Trevor Francis) that's been missed off the official 'tagging'?

Thanks btw to everybody who posts old pictures on here. Fantastic looking back at these.

Sorry to correct you Mr English, but the date of the replay was't Thursday 16 May 1963, it was Wednesday 15 May 1963. Apart from that, your figures are superb, keep it up. No Surrender!!!
