Wouldn't have recognised him.
Mark - did you get a pm I sent you?
A lot of his tackles looked worse because he so slow. He genuinely wanted to get the ball but by the time he got there there was only the man left.

and broadfoot and mcgregor etcThe kind of player we need nowadays to sort out Lego muncher.
I'm surprised by the fondness on this thread.
Although I was young, he was the first Rangers player I disliked.
If he didn't actually score an own goal he was responsible for Morton's goal at my first visit to Ibrox.
A 1-1 draw in Oct 81.
Not the only reason I didn't like him.
Did Greig buy him as his own replacement?
He brought him back to Scottish football from Leicester, we needed new blood at centre half as both Colin Jackson and Tom Forsyth were in the veteran category.
That’s my recollection.
He developed a reputation as a hard man because he just wasn’t very good.

My only real memory of him was him breaking a Kilmarnock player's leg in a friendly of all things, played on a snowy day in midwinter to give us a game. It was brutal, and you could hear the boy's leg snap on the terracing. I'm pretty sure Stevens got a lengthy ban for that. Not a nice memory I'm afraid!
I think we had Gregor , Jim Steel, Tam Forsyth LL at the same time, Steel was as hard as nails as well
Killie player was called Albert Morrison. The injury basically ended his career, he ended up playing junior.
Jim Steel was signed on short term loan as cover from Southampton as short term cover for big Tam who was out injured.
Steel didn’t last long and thankfully we didn’t chase his signature as he was as slow as a week in the jail.
Remember mcloy fumbled one at home against porto , maybe 83.It's astounding that until 1982 we had McCloy (I know Stewart payed most of 81/2 but McCloy then displaced him 82/3), Jardine,Forsyth and Jackson.
4 out of a back 5 that played a decade earlier.
Alex MillerMet Gregor a few times when he played for eastercraigs along with a mate of mine, he was signed for Motherwell then & came across as a really nice guy
I never seen him play for Rangers as I was abroad at that time, but heh a boy from the Drum grew up to live the dream
I think he was one of four on the field on an old firm game that attended the same school
Him, John Macdonald, Danny Mcgrain,sorry forgot the other player ( too much to drink)
Well done that's the oneAlex Miller
