RFC55 104,117 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Davie Weir was at the louden last night apparently for a Q+A session.One guy asked himWhat does it mean for you to be Rangers captain?To whch Davie answered Everything, I purposely drive by Ibrox and look up and think wow, Im part of that, it makes me very proud! That to me sums the guy up. What a classy classy individual who has been inspirtational since signing for Rangers.

Albertz is a Rangers legend and rightly so.Depends on your definition of legendAlbertz was more of a cult figure than a legend. Wasn't a particularly great footballer, but had a magnificent shot on him, and had a happy knack of scoring regularly against the Tims. This isn't enough for legendary status though imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan 11 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Disagree, Albertz was a legend without a doubt IMO. Amoruso was more of a cult figure.Albertz, like Nacho Novo for example, isn't remembered because he was an amazing player. He wasn't. He is remembered because of some of the goals he scored, and the regularity with which he scored against Celtic. This for me equals cult hero, though i guess i didn't make the word so everyone can debate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoabyWanKinobi 3 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 If Davie Weir doesn't qualify as a legend what the fuck does? He's the only player in that sqad who would have got anywhere near any of the great Rangers teams(at his peak as age would probably be against that). Possibly shagger too but he wouldn't have got a game ahead of Goram or Woods.As for Albertz, he was a fantastic player, great passer, great vision and obviously that shot. His only drawback in my opinion was that he was a bit lazy and a bit powder puff in a 50/50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember the standard of today's SPL in comparison to the one faced by the centre halves of our past. Would he have ousted Gough or Butcher? Absolutely no chance imo. It's like people who put Steven Davis in their greatest Rangers XI. He wouldn't have even made our bench 20 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
