cenotaph 34 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 A big mistake happened in Alfie Conn's playing career as we all know but has he been forgiven for his error or will he never be forgiven? Personally I say forgive as he is only one of 11 guys who has a European winners medal in his pocket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUDGIE52 9 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Nope, he signed for the taigs in 1977 and helped them to a double including a Scottish cup final win over us so as they say he made his bed............................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambo 197 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I know Alfie personally and he is a genuinely nice guy.He signed for Celtic as he had no other offers to consider due to his injury problems. He had a family to feed so signed for them. Alfie is and always has been a Rangers fan....nothing to be forgiven for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some injury problem prior to signing for them and apparently they were the only team willing to take a chance on him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Would he not have got more Money, Money, Money signing for another English club though?True but on thinking back, unsure if any English team showed interest and if allegations are true well the time he signed for ran their own version of the ebts only difference was not a verified tax deal more a brown envelope deal. Many are of the understanding this was the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenotaph 34 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 What questions?1. Why?2. Do you regret it?3. How did it feel pulling on that rag?4.

Are you asking us to believe no other club would take a chance and the tims were offering the most cash.Coincidence or what.I think or what personally.

How did it feel walking into Ibrox and hearing the scorn of the Rangers support?5. Was it worth it?6. etc etc etcObviously I can't speak for him but I do know being a Rangers fan he was disappointed in the way he was treated by not only Rangers fans but by the club also because he played for Celtic.Many a player has played for both since and none of them are treated with the same disrespect as Alfie.

So why after helping us win the European Cup Winners Cup should we hold him in less regard than Kenny Miller, Mark Brown, Steven Pressley etc??He offered himself to Rangers at the time and they weren't interested.
