AndBoydScores 8 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 If I had to pick 1 player it would have to be John Greig, he carried The Rangers almost single handed in the lean years of the late 60's/early 70's, Although if we're talking about players who were proud and loved the jersey, along with all the above I'd like to include John [bomber] Brown, he would run through a brick wall for the team and was vastly underrated, why he never got more caps is a disgrace.

Tumshie 205 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 There's so many. In my life there has been Gough, Butcher, Goram, Hateley, McCoist, Ian Ferguson, Bomber, Durrant, Stuart McCall (very underrated), Laudrup, Gazza, big Amo, Albertz Rolf Harris' didgeridoo and a few more. Out of the current side only Barry and wee nacho even come close. Ferguson in time will be thought of as a legend. Over time the bad memories fade and we will remember him for the player he was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Billy Simpson, Willie Woodburn, Willie Thornton were some of my Granda's choices. In recent times I'd say Cooper, Laudrup, Albertz, Klos and Barry Ferguson, though I believe that Michael Mols could have been a legend if it wasnt for THAT injury. Oh yeah - Ally McCoist how did I forget him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Bomber, though I forgot to add him on my list (and Durrant belongs there as well). One of my favourite players to have worn the jersey.

Orangeclement 572 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Laudrup, The goalie and Gazza and i would also add mccoist and Hateley too. all players i have seen. then you have the REAL legends that i havent seen play: Baxter and cooper( have seen him play but was very very young) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern players don't tend to spend long enough at the club to be considered as legends. Spot on! I find it ludicrous when a player who had one and a bit good season is referred to as a Rangers Legend. Even Gazza, a truly fantastic player, cannot really be termed as one of our legends although his amazing display against the sheep will live in my memory.

Modern players don't tend to spend long enough at the club to be considered as legends. Welcome to RM mate. I agree, there are only 1 or 2 players in the game at the moment that come close to being true legends, Ryan Giggs being upmost in my thoughts. Surely a legend is someone who will be remembered as a fantastic player and servant to the club in 30, 40, 50yrs time? Will youngsters in the 2050s hear the same awe in their elders voices when they talk of Novo, Boyd, Ferguson or Thomson that I heard in my fathers when he talked about Caldow, Shearer and Baxter? I seriously doubt it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's what you do with the time that counts not the length of it ! Think the difference is though that Baxter was truly an exceptional talent and probably the only Ranger that I can remember that was WORLD CLASS and by that I mean had a genuine claim to be the best player in the world at the time as backed up by Pele. This is no slur on Laudrup or Gazza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player wise... Cooper, Greig, Alex McDonald, Baxter, McCoist, The Goalie, Laudrup.
