DavieMacRFC 850 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I would have him ahead of Jon Flannagan although he's been decent last few games but give him a wee run in the last few games to assess how he gets on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people can’t win Doesnt matter if some people think he isnt a legend. Truth is he is and there really isnt a debate on it. He done more for us than most. He never walked away like the rest of them when he could have done. Some have short memories of the absolute less we were in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backup 4,724 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 He was henpecked into staying, or he would leave for England or elsewhere alone, a lot of wages for very little return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,208 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think its fucking shocking how disrespectful some people act towards Lee Wallace. Nobody has ever pretended that he's ever been a star player for us or could've went on to play high level Premier League football. And even if you're critical of his playing performances - which most definitely deteriorated over the last couple of years - the very least you should admit is that he loves Rangers Football Club sincerely. Attempts to play down his contributions solely because we were in the lower divisions is a disgrace, it really is. Whenever the argument arises, it always turns personal and the abuse he gets would make you think he'd spat on the crest. It's a joke. He deserved that fantastic reception yesterday and if the time comes for him to leave in the summer he will always be considered a legend by me.

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Still the best left back at the club by some margin. Hoping his swansong is a few games and not just random 5 minute cameos at end of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because they were very talented, played well at very high levels, lots of international caps and were winners, unlike a player who only really starred in division 1 and 2 in Scotland against part timers.

Aye that's right that Henderson couldn't beat a fullback and as for that Baxter his passing was just rubbish. Modern players might be fitter and have better equipment but ability is something you are born with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put them as is into the modern game they'd struggle, doubt either would get into our first team tbh. Anyway my point was legend status is about more than just ability. Both those players you mentioned are obviously legends. Wallace is a legend for sticking with the club through the dark years despite the negative impact it had on his career.

bluenoz 30,843 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Class guy. I wonder if the true story will ever come out regarding the bust up. He spent at least 30 minutes after the game yesterday when in street clothes signing autographs and getting pictures taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
