Davy Wilson was my first Rangers hero, I was only a wee nipper, but when playing bounce games I always tried to play like DW. True Rangers Legend. Hope the book sells well.

Maybe not our greatest ever Number 11, although there is incredible competition for that title.
But very possibly the greatest goalscoring winger we've ever had.

As good as it could possibly get .

I don’t think there is any doubt Davie Wilson is/was the greatest goalscoring winger we’ve ever had. A return of 1 goal every 2 and a bit games is incredible. If anyone had to twist my arm and demand who was the best left winger I have seen play for us, the answer would be Brian Laudrup. However, for overall contribution to the success of The Rangers (and over a longer timescale) Davie Wilson is up there amongst the best.

The late great Johnny Hubbard scored 116 in 259, not too bad! Although he was the penalty king.

First Gers game was at old brockville 1962 davie scored 6 playing at centre forward in a7 1 win jimmy millar right half Willie Henderson on right wing Alex Scott on left

 

[Maryhillblue]

Seen Davie Wilson play against us when I was a wee boy, at tannadice , had to ask my dad why the rangers were cheering him. Years later he arranged my mortgage, late 80,s.top man and top ranger.

Bumped into Mr Wilson recently,as a 64 year old that,s how I addressed him,sprightly and happy to chat about The Famous.

 

[Thasunke Witko]

I pre-ordered on Amazon

He was before my time but have pre ordered also, will pass it on to the old man after reading

 

[raelbrook]

I'm proudly named after this pacey winger, my dad(lady's front bottom) did good once.

Was at that game as well! Happy memories right behind the goal where most of the goals went in. What a team we had then!

 

[Robert Prytz]

Going to get this for my da, 81 this year but the stories about Wilson,Baxter,Henderson etc still roll off the tongue, heard them all a hundred times but still love it.

Is the launch still scheduled for 11 May?

I had hoped to attempt procuring a signed copy for my old man's birthday a few days before that, but given all that's happened in the past few months, I think that's beyond the realms of possibility....
