A thanks to Paisleyprod and PrestwickBear for sharing some memories of Mr Hubbard with me.
Tribute To Johnny Hubbard MBE (16th December 1930 - 21st June 2018)
His name was Johnny Hubbard, Oh how we loved that man
To wear the Light Blue shirt was God's masterplan
He wore it with great honour and no one can deny
That man called Johnny Hubbard was the apple of our eye
His birth place was Pretoria, Ibrox was his home
He graced the hallowed turf with grace and great aplomb
He terrorised defenders, ran amok down that left wing
When it came to taking penalties he was proudly called the King
On the First Day of the New Year in Nineteen Fifty Five
It had been appointed, his greatest hour did arrive
He put Celtic to the sword and did it with a smile
For Johnny scored a hat trick in the Johnny Hubbard style
Oh Johnny you were down to earth ,You were one of us
A supporter of the Rangers who never made a fuss
You shared your precious memories of all your glory days
The pleasure was all ours but your is all the praise
We are proud and honoured that such a man as you
A man of great distinction so loyal and so true
Loved and served our club until you heard the call
To leave the marble staircase to walk down Heaven's Hall
Yet we know that you will be with us whenever Rangers play
Amongst the Called and Chosen down dear old Ibrox way
We will feel your presence just like we felt your love
Mr Hubbard we salute you sir, Rest In Peace above.
