A fantastic footballer who doesn't get thought of as highly as he should.

It's an injustice it is...

Big Johnstone said he would never have scored as many goals without accuracy of the wee man's crosses.

One of the best crossers of a ball that I've seen.

One of the best crossers of a ball that I've seen.

I think he is the best of my time.

Also a very creative and clever passer of the ball and reader of the game.

Couldn't tackle though!

Brilliant bit of history.

That was his only fault

DJ runs off to celebrate after scoring against Thistle at Firhill on Jan 2nd 1978 in a 2-1 win which leapfrogged Rangers above Thistle for top spot in the SPL. The bears in the old Firhill shed (including me) are going berserk. There was a crowd of 30,000 at Firhill that day which was the largest for many a year.

I was in the shed,right at the front in line with 6yd box.

Orjan Persson

 

[Alex Venters]

The first Rangers player I ever saw score v celtic in a game I attended.

May 4th 1973, what a day.

Was it not May 5th?

 

[Alex Venters]

One of the best crossers of a ball that I've seen.

He was.
He suffered from being the man to follow Wee Willie. A totally different player.

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is mobbed as he puts Rangers 1 up away to Bayer Leverkusen on 22/10/1998.

Leverkusen had been UCL Quarter Finalists earlier that year.

Barry Ferguson was "world class" that night, one of his best if not his best performance in a light blue jersey that night.

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

Was the 2nd replay not played after the capitulation at the piggery that cost us the league?

My old man is still going regularly and was at all of last season's games against them, but he still mantains that the 4-2 defeat at the piggery against 10 men in 79 is his worst ever experience against them.

Although we have had some hellish defeats against them in recent years, I agree with your Dad.

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

Aitken's vacant look after Coop's reverse is almost as memorable as the goal itself.

Aitken was so outclassed by Davie Cooper’s reverse pass that he finished on his hands and knees.

 

[dh1963]

3 legends.

A true lap of honour. At the run with Davie Wilson wearing a bowler.

The player, the era, even the strip - brilliant!

I made an RFC logo that's made up of individual Rangers pics:

That's class

I took this from the programme for the following Ibrox league match against dolly......that game was on March 4th 1978, my 20th birthday, we got humped 3-0, so me & my mate went to the Bier Keller on Union street & got blootered.

I remember that game. Pissed of rain all day and I was in the uncovered (Celtic) end watching with my late father.
I was ten. I was shocked we could lose at Ibrox 3 0 to anyone

Would I be right in saying that's the bowler hat that hangs in the managers office? Cracking picture.

I believe that it does.

Bobby Russell, a quality footballer

 

[Ronnietheranger]

Great picture, you can almost feel the cold air....................

 

[Maweepaljoe]

One of the best crossers of a ball that I've seen.

DJ said his job was easy because he had Davie Cooper on one side and Tommy McLean on the other pinging the crosses in. He couldn't fail.

 

[dh1963]

Bobby Russell had a nice easy professional ambition... to play and score in the World Cup Final!

That was never likely, but he definitely should have played for Scotland.

If only there had been a Jock Wallace press conference that Speirs, Spence, McLaughlin or Delahunt tried to talk us down!

Vague memory we played a young full back that day who we hoped was going to be a star.
Scott Fraser?
