rbt1548 1,898 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I was asked for my top in Brega which is about 500 miles from Tripoli and gave another guy a top when I was in Tehran, so there's at least two more supporters there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BareGrills 145 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 You see a lot in Africa where Bears have donated old tops to charity and it usually brings a smile to my face when I see them. With everything there is an exception and that is the dude in the Novo top who hangs around near the Azure hotel in Pointe Noir. It's been near two years now we've commuted by there on a monthly basis and every time he is there.The lad is bit aromatic even by local standards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

feedell 6 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I was in Antigua in 1999 on a stop off on a cruise. I spotted two locals and one had a top on from the 80's. I went over to them to have a chat expecting a bond cause I had my top on. The guy who wasn't wearing the top said to me "hey man, give me your top and I'll give you a bag of grass the size of your head" Unfortunately you got searched going back on to the ship so the grass was no good to me. I just gave him the top and returned to the boat feeling quite proud of myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggleskelly 3,772 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm an HGV driver & used to do 'the continent' in the late '90's early 00's. I was delivering a load to a factory in a wee town near Bordeaux in Southern France. I was parked in their yard waiting to get unloaded & the roller shutter door opened & the fork lift driver came driving out wearing a Rangers top. I thought ... What the fuck!! He didn't speak a word of English so I didn't find out why he was wearing it. I obviously told him I was a Rangers fan & in pigeon English he said 'no pope of rome'!! Bizarre!!

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Seen a guy in Disneyland with one on, assumed he was from here but he was an american. I spoke to him as i had tge same top on, Think he said it was because of his grandad was from 'scatlan' so he liked rangers. Made my day. Unfortunately literally about 5 mins later I saw a father and son with the green and grey and without even hearing them talk I could tell they were from here!

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Seen some in some pretty interesting places abroad. Actually seen one a few years ago in Kuala Lumpur in a place whereby most people were local. When i questioned the person, he got it from a business trip to Glasgow and that was him converted, which got me thinking earlier, wheres the strangest place you've seen one and never expected it?.Sometimes the reach of our club is amazing Good thread mate My dads old house at King Billy's hometown breielle just outside Rotterdam deserves a mention Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

topgoalie 637 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Remember a big blue nose i knew who suffered terribly with ill health.He was losing his sight,and wanted to visit the Maldives.His wife and him ventured over a good few times and his wish was to give the young locals Rangers tops.He took dozens over and handed them out,before his condition got worse.A legacy from big Jim,who sadly passed away shortly later........

When I was younger I was walking along the rocks back home minding my own business, when this seal appeared from nowhere and made that noise that seals make. I'm going to call it horking. I'd have only been about 11 at the time, and I nearly jumped out of my skin when it horked at me. Immediately turned tail and ran away as fast as my 11 year old legs could carry me. Still get flashbacks every time I go back to that bit of the rocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyali 248 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pakistan. Driving by and in a sports shop window in Islamabad was a Rangers top. Fake. 50p. There was also a Celtic top that said "Mike" and not "Nike." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
