Hall of fame for Jimmy Bell

[humie]

I’ve said this for a few years now and would’ve loved to see the smile on his face if he was still with us to be inducted but this has got to happen now. The man has been a great servant and deserves this ,he will always be the extra coach on that bench to me. Rip Mr Bell

 

[Carson1912]

Absolutely

 

[Loyal72]

Absolutely.

Jermain Defoe said it best, not many become legends at Football Clubs without ever kicking a ball, Jimmy Bell certainly earned his status.

 

[2 of the Best]

His loyalty deserves recognition.

 

[Arty]

Absolutely yes,
Jimmy Bell is a Rangers legend,

 

[Diego Maradona]

Shame a man has to die

 

[JuanTR]

It’s a no brainier. Hopefully done ASAP.

 

[Talktalk]

Shame a man has to die

A lesson learned, if someone is deserving of the accolade they need to be given it at the earliest opportunity in every walk of life.

 

[148bear]

Big time lived the deam one of us.

 

[TN8]

A big yes from me.

 

[devilman]

Absolutely. He should be in there. What a servant to the club he has been.

 

[Disraeli]

Absolutely. There definitely needs to be something about Mr Bell in the museum as well.

From the Souness revolution, to 9 in a row, the dark days of 2012 and finally 55. Mr Bell was the one consistent, the, one who saw it all.

He was The Anchor of Rangers who held fast through all storms.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

A bust in the museum for me, today has been as tough as Walters passing.

You just get so used to Jimmy being in that dugout and giving either the stare or the smile…

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

A lesson learned, if someone is deserving of the accolade they need to be given it at the earliest opportunity in every walk of life.

Likewise with Walter... I know they knew they were loved but we need to be saluting our heroes more frequently!

Not convinced you’d have got a smile from him, but absolutely deserving.

 

[Stu46]

Would be a really nice touch, Jimmy was a legend.

 

[del68]

Must happen.

 

[Talktalk]

Likewise with Walter... I know they knew they were loved but we need to be saluting our heroes more frequently!

It’s not just at our club it’s in general, many are more thought off dead than fully appreciated while they’re with us

 

[LyonGer]

Definitely.
Jimmy deserves is status in our Hall of Fame.
If anyone was A Ranger it was Jimmy.

I'm in 2 minds at the moment, should his collection be preserved in his office or be made available to the wider Rangers community in the new museum

His collection should go to his family to decide what is to happen to it no one else.

 

[kay]

Definitely, a legend who has given all to the club he loved

 

[chilebear]

Id name Auchenhowie after him

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Likewise with Walter... I know they knew they were loved but we need to be saluting our heroes more frequently!

As Kanye said, people never get the flowers while they can still smell them, sad but true.

 

[rangers for life]

May I also suggest honouring Jimmy with the accolade of calling The Founders Trail ,The Jimmy Bell Founders Trail ,a man steeped in Rangers traditions who basically moulded and shaped our foreign recruits to our club to what was rightly expected of them as a Ranger.

[edwardcarson]

of course. absolute legend.

 

[imager]

Jimmy and Tiny should both be in the HoF.

 

[Johansen]

Id name Auchenhowie after him

As such a sad time as this is re; Jimmy there is only one man Auchenhowie should be named after. Walter Smith

 

[Gazb1962]

He was one of those people you knew even though you never got to know him.
The tributes from all the fans and current and past players tells its own story.
R.I.P. Sir.

 

[WeeStephen]

Absolutely. There definitely needs to be something about Mr Bell in the museum as well.

Hopefully a wee rendition of We Have an Anchor on Thursday night in his memory.

 

[HeverleeRFC]

Yes definitely.

 

[King Richard]

A man who contributed as much as any manager or player over the last 35 years

 

[TheRamblingGer]

Definitely needs to happen

 

[Poltonloyal]

The tributes to him today have been outstanding, from all generations of Rangers players and managers.

 

[thelangloyal]

As such a sad time as this is re; Jimmy there is only one man Auchenhowie should be named after. Walter Smith

I feel absolutely gutted today but this is the only name that should be up there.

 

[Alvor]

A very fitting tribute

 

[Dawson1872]

Get it done!

 

[waldo 1160]

How about the Jimmy Bell dugout… ? He made more appearances out of there than Any player.

 

[dt17]

Likewise with Walter... I know they knew they were loved but we need to be saluting our heroes more frequently!

Should've had a stand named after him whilst he was still alive.

The club have been oddly silent on any sort of permanent tribute to Walter.

 

[So Mote It Be]

His admission to the HoF is not even debatable for me.

As others have mentioned, it’s a real shame that the honour would need to be bestowed posthumously.

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

Think Douglas Park mentioned he was going to consult the family etc and make a announcement before the end of the season? Maybe wrong though.
