FernandoR20 2,133 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 In my opinion, he's a legend to me. I first started properly supporting Rangers in 2001 when I was 6, so as it was the first team I ever saw at Rangers, the majority of that team were 'legends' to me, e.g, Klos, Ricksen, Amo, Ferguson, De Bour, Cannigia, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That term is getting banded about too easily nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

During my time of supporting Rangers, i class him as one of the legends.That's my point - I did read your post and I don't agree with it. However people may disagree with whom I consider a legend (Gascoigne, Laudrup, McCoist etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Fernando was deffo a few cans short of a 24 pack but he loved it at Rangers and most fans loved him. Not many men could come back from getting hooked after 13 minutes or whatever it was in his old firm debut. Went on to be a great player for us and that season where we played 3 in midfield with him Arteta and Ferguson was fucking outstanding.I for one welcome Fernando back!Ricksen never played midfield until 2004/05 season, Arteta and Ferguson were both long gone by then?

simplythebest 11,453 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 He was absolutely outstanding in that season though.There's no way he should have "shared" the POTY award with Hartson.He certainly was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curiousI've just gave you a rep for "pantheon" awesome word....you shift f7 that one? ; )I quess the term legend can be subjective very much to age, era, opinion etc. ricksen did a decent job for us, he had one excellent season but could also be a liability....who can forget bobby Petta ripping him to shreds on his old firm debut....bobby Petta...I like the idea of the link up but I can't imagine any potential game would generate a particularly big crowd....

Tumshie 205 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ricksen played much better when he was in the middle of the park. He did well in the 02/03 season and 04/05 but if that's what cements you as a legend now then we would have about 400 players in the Hall of Fame by now.

TheQueensEleven 1,355 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I mind Ricksen crunched Burke when we played Zenit in a friendly Then in retaliation Ricksen got taken out at near the corner flag, his football boot came right off.
