Jimmy Bell - The kit man who doesn't like giving out kit

[Gascoigne8]

Can’t you read properly?
He’s talking about running shoes not his playing boots

yes mate I can

no way did Jimmy let Amo play in green boots but threw out his green running shoes

Isnt there a story where Advocatt walked in the dressing room and Amo and Gatutso hid their green boots under a bench?
Im sure if Jimmy took someones boots just before KO Jimmy would have been in bother.

Remember though, these stories are just banter fro inside Ibrox

 

[sofakineazy]

Brilliant stories, thanks for posting.

Advocaat banned white boots.

I think Amo said that Amato had a deal with Adidas to wear white ones and Rangers had to basically pay Amato the money he'd have lost from the deal.

Amazingly stupid just let him wear the white boots haha

I thought all kitmen hated giving out kit. Much like storemen giving out kit in the military.

Yes always thought they were on commision to keep the stock.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

These stories are absolutely brilliant!

What a character.

 

[Graham89]

Alfredo and Jimmy wrestling every day?? Lol.

 

[Rjbear]

I dont think Bain had the balls to challenge Jimmy.

I get the impression he would have got an underling to deal with anything like that anyway.

 

[Juanito2]

If our club had 30 guys as staunch as Wee Jimmy..we'd be in a better place. Some man.

 

[robobear]

Yep, no way Jimmy would deal with a wetwipe like Bain directly.

 

[Aspley1 Ger]

I dont think Bain had the balls to challenge Jimmy.

Or Aggie Moffat

 

[BanffshireBear]

Brilliant tales

 

[Jack Flash]

Like store men in any job offshore is exactly the same, You would think it was coming out their own pockets .

Some feckers think the stores are there for their benefit!
If we gave stuff out, there's be nothing left and we'd have to reorder!

[stein and johnston]

Jimmy is one guy I would love to have a pint with to hear all those wonderful stories.

 

[Bluebell19]

Alfredo and Jimmy wrestling every day?? Lol.

This what I would like to know more about!I

Reckon the club could sell tickets for this. Sounds great.

[Gauche.]

Good reading.
Although I did notice that Mr Bell was wearing adidas trainers at the game versus the jute riff raff.
A loss of staunch points but not a visit from the staunch police.

 

[Kit_]

From one Kit to The Kit Man, I salute you Sir Jimmy Bell.

Spoken like a true storeman

The gaffer always gets what he wants though so it’s all good for me

Not really. If you want to hear Jimmy's best stories have a night out with one of his sons.

I bet they’re owners of some classic strips

Kit is for shelves not for wearing. My QM.

Give stuff out and have to reorder when empty of stock isn't that the definition of being a storeman.

Would anyone recommend a sub to the Athletic?

 

[Ulster Loyal]

Would anyone recommend a sub to the Athletic?

All day long. Have a look at post #18. £1 a month for 12 months.

 

[Penicuik_Loyal]

You a Q bloke,lol.

Former CQMS pal

 

[Govanx]

Is the lad who does this site a Bear, is that why he gets pushed on here? If so I’ll probably subscribe

 

[MainStandLoyal]

He is a bear but the whole Athletic set up is excellent, especially if you like a few other sports. Well worth the subscription especially at £1 for 12 months.

 

[Maxi 4]

Recently retired after 50 years working have to say every storeman I encountered was an absolute cock

 

[top_cat]

The Athletic is a great read.

 

[Kentbear]

Long may Jimmy reign at Ibrox, the world as a whole is devoid of characters the more traditionalists around our club the better.

the site has people covering all the major teams, Jordan Campbell is their Rangers correspondent and does excellent work.

Thanks guys. Will give it a try.

 

[davieboyblue]

I'm just surprised that Bain didn't sack him to employ Declan Seamus O'Mahoney.

 

[Ruben Sosa]

I have only met Jimmy Bell once, was at Tannadice the day we clinched the title in 1990.

We went up early to buy tickets for the home end and as the gates were wide open, we were walking about the pitch as if we were going to be playing that day.

Out comes Jimmy Bell and we fully expected to be chased for being chancing teenagers, but he stood and chatted away with us in the centre of the pitch.

 

[ca100]

The story's Jimmy Bell must have. There's a best seller there if he ever fancied doing an autobiography!

 

[TerryArcade]

“You can’t have it, it’s the last one. Someone might need it”

I've experienced this aswell. I'm convinced they don't give out their last 2 or 3 units of kit unless it's for an Officer.

 

[CooperSF]

Any referrals for The Athletic kicking about?

 

[Souness86]

Pedantic as %^*& but Negri and Amo signed in 97, not 96.

Weir also signed in 07, not 2008.

Minor thing but still annoys me.

 

[Sir Sidney Ruff Diamond]

Jimmy lives near me. Good guy but not big on smiling.

Aye weir was January 07 haha

Not a referral but a limited time offer. £1 a month for 12 months.

The Athletic

theathletic.com

 

[Man on the post]

Paul Gascoine ones good

 

[Treble Kings]

Stevie G gets him. Two football men that couldn't be more different that are united by their love of the Club.

 

[tottie beck]

No need to toss the Reeboks. Surely Jimmy could easily have taken a marker to them

 

[Marko123]

That was a great read. Legend of a guy!

 

[dublinbear]

I’ve read loads of stories about Barca, Milan. Madrid and visited their stadiums. It’s accepted that everyone in their inner circle is 100% steeped in their club. Guys like Jimmy are absolutely essential to football clubs. I’ve never met him, but i know me and him would get along just fine.

 

[Hammy]

Would anyone recommend a sub to the Athletic?

Jordan does a couple of in-depth articles every week and seems to have a good relationship with the club therefore access to interview current and ex players on occasion. Brilliant content. More analytical features than your clickbait rubbish you’d get in the Daily Record, The Sun etc. He hosts post-match discussions, sometimes does Rangers forum discussions during the week etc.

The app is brilliant too. I follow the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga and Fantasy Football. There’s dozens of articles every day to get through, brilliant podcasts, all the best football writers are on it now.

Well worth the £1.30 a month I spent. And no I am not Jordan

 

[johnto]

Jimmy is one guy I would love to have a pint with to hear all those wonderful stories.

Would likely take FAR more than one pint bro
