ready1873 3,869 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I was younger and didn't fully understand the circumstances...loved Tore Andre Flo and thought he was going to score 40+ a season.This man a legend in my eyes too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 When I was about 11 for some reason I really liked Tom Cowan. He did a wee thing when he stopped running where he kicked the ground with his toes that I used to copy.He only played 12 games for us before getting a bad injury in the title winning game at Ibrox v the Sheep in '91 and then moving away.

RD.1872 890 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thought Lee Martin would've been a revelation when we got him on loan from Man Utd under Le Guen. Played about 5 games and was never heard of again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before my time, and he's a relative of mine, and because I didn't really follow his career it'd be good to know what sort of player he was. As for the question at hand, always thought Maurice Ross would have been a good player for us. I was only young at the time though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only young at the time though Think TC was mainly a left back, who could do a turn in midfield (looking better than Stevie Smith while he did it!).Maurice Ross could have been great, except for a complete lack of urgency!The number of times he had a ten yard start on a guy, and arrived at the ball at the same time!Great goal in the league cup final rout of Motherwell!

AyrshireBlue 449 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Had a soft spot for Jonas Thern, really though that if he never had the cruciate injury he could've been a Rangers great.A real coup at the time signing him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,090 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Kenny WatsonThought he was good for us. If I remember right did he not mark Kempes out the game away to Valencia round about 80/81 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the question at hand, always thought Maurice Ross would have been a good player for us. I was only young at the time though Yeah, as said above, a left back that could play at left mid. From what I remember in his short time at Rangers he was small and pretty slender, but had a good engine to get up and down and he was a gutsy wee tackler. A solid defender with a good attitude and heart.Some rare footage of him here. Getting crunched in the tackle that caused his injury and then putting in a good tackle after that, then a second challenge that seemed to aggravate it. He went off shortly after. Watch the first 2 minutes, as he appears quite a bit and you see him stretchered off. Note especially the toe-tap I copied at 0.29 minutes!!!!

We Will Follow Rangers 12,916 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Bobby williamson, for a peach of an overhead kick v the scum, 84 I think, think he got a bad injury just after was never the same player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke his leg if I remember rightly. Wasn't that also the game when Jimmy Nichol was sent off while on loan from Toronto Blizzard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
