Eric Caldow was at Rangers from 1952 until 1966,

playing in 407 competitive games for the Club.

He never once received a booking.

amazing record.

There was me thinking you were on about our poster, Eric_Caldow.

That is some record!

[Dado 334]

That is some record.

Were referees scared of him?

[Boab 73]

He was also very very fast.

[BLUE CYCLOPS 26]

I remember in 1960 (?) when he had some dispute with the club and demanded a transfer. That was unheard of in those days, any move away from Rangers was a backward step and, in fact, no English club even tried to sign a Rangers player. The talk now-a -days is of the top 4, then it was the top 3 and Rangers were one of them.

Manu, came to an agreement of £30,000 ( a hellova price in those days) but at the last minute Caldow decided that, whatever the dispute, he was was not prepared to drop to a lower level. He subsequently finished his career at Ibrox.

It make you cry that we are reduced to competing (and losing) with teams like Wigan, Cardiff etc for players.

I had the honour of being introduced to Caldow, Baxter and Alex Scott after a Scotland/Ireland international in Belfast. I don,t think I washed my hand for months afterwards. Some of you older Bears might remember that match.

Scotland won 6-0 and Davy Wilson scored 3. Ralph Brand scored 3 and Scott got the other.

I,d better stop reminiscing of those days, I,m becoming depressed.

7-0 that would make it.

Good to hear things like that though

[BLUE CYCLOPS 26]

Sorry! My mistake, Brand scored 2 not 3. Typo.

The complete gentleman,fantastic player,and the best Rangers left back I've ever had the pleasure of watching in the last 50 years.

[minstral 5,375]

He never once scored from open play,

but managed to find the net 25 times from the penalty spot.

[nvager 498]

Caldow was very fast, but he could run backwards faster than most of our present lot can run forward. Great player.

[Robbiemac 0]

He better watch out thomson's looking to beat his record

[docspiderman 1,219]

Yes, and in a free flowing team that oozed pace and skill combined with power and aggression. Oh, for that type of player and team.

I remember the game very well. Years later I almost bought his Pub in Catrine, Ayrshire, still a true Gentleman.

[corbyloyal 11]
