Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Just loved the big blasts... man but he could hit them. So many goals from midfield. We could do with that kind of player now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevotrueblue 382 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Loved his interviews after a season or two as well,, when he started to pick up the twang and use things like "the wee man" and "pure dead brilliant goal" etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,248 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yes one of my favourites too, always said to my Dad at the time, "Germany must have some midfield to leave the big man out". Ironically they were mince at that time if memory serves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 He got a lot of stick for not tracking-back very well, but if I remember correctly, he did start to address that as time went on.I was always disappointed if he didn't start.

Was always gutted when he was not in starting 11. Did he not score that goal away at PSV from coming off the bench? Peach of a first time volley then celebrated by pointing to his name on the back of his shirt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The guy who sat behind me in the Copland Road critcised Albertz constantly throughout his whole time at Ibrox. Jorg must have rode his missus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madina 3,808 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 One of the best hitters of a dead ball I've ever seen, possibly the best in my time of following Rangers. Can't wait to see him back on the pitch on Sat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Advocaat forced Albertz and Gasgoine out the door because he didn't want prima donna. He then brought through Barry Ferguson the biggest prima donna of them all . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrupno1 3,932 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 One of my favourite players and with him in the team getting a freekick outside the box was like being awarded a penalty you just knew most of the time he'd score with that shot of his,Legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
