Returned to England with Lincoln city , had a spell with Queen of the South then retired to join the police aged 29 . Sadly passed away in June last year .

tannerall 25,935 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Went looking for some attendance info on our 1972 Euro semi and inadvertently found this. Apologies in advance, but it's a great pointer to the fact rhabid tim journalists were just as bitter back then, even though a much stronger better organised team had beaten them fairly. Best bit after all the doom and gloom for the tims though is the wee Rangers related advert down at the bottom left hand side.

Popular Post Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 Here's a Rangers player who deserves a special mention on a special thread - Douglas 'Dougie' Herbert Gray was born in Alford in 1905. In 1925 he was signed by Bill Struth, who stated on several occasions that Dougie was his best ever signing! This is the manager who signed McPhail, Thornton, Waddell, Young, Shaw etc etc Dougie went on to be Rangers longest ever serving player - playing competively until 1947! He made 555 'official' appearances but if you made the allowance of appearances during WWII then Dougie put on the Rangers shirt more than any other player in history, making 940 appearances in total. He won 10 league champions medals, six scottish cup winners medals and was capped 10 times for his country. Dougie Gray is not often a name tripped off the tongue when Rangers Legends are discussed. But be in no doubt a legend he is and a worthy original member of our Hall of Fame. A few years ago his daughter was invited to Ibrox as a special guest and was giving the star treatment including a tour of the stadium. There is no doubt her father was looking down proudly.

Barcelona from 29.50....... IIRC we paid around 50 quid for 5 nights including flights. Still have fantastic memories of that trip. I also recall numerous 'glib' tarriers who had booked for the European cup final in the travel agents getting their refunds and us pishing ourselves. We'll be laughing at the cunts soon enough.
