Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just found this pic of the great man on the net. Cracking wee box to box player who chipped in with some vital goals. I heard he had his euro cup winners medal stolen, did he ever get it back? And do you have any memories of the guy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Always scored in big games and his relationship on the park with tommy mclean was almost telepathic also love the video after winning the cup winners cup when theres no sound on it but he's singing derry's walls.

Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Aye bud, think we let him go too soon. Remember his first game back at Ibrox and the bears were all singing his name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Great midfield player, tenacious in the tackle, and as you say what an engine, I always felt not recognised as much as the others of that generation Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centenarystand 2,227 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Great player coming in on the blind side. Was the type of player to score big game goals.Remember going to his testimonial against hertz at Tynecastle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster2010 46 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 you're right, no sure wether he was capped?Dont Think Doddie ever got a Full Scotland cap. I am sure he played against England in a Scottish League V English League Match though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluedoo 2,652 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 you're right, no sure wether he was capped?capped once, but to be fair Scotland did have a strong midfield at the time, for me just unlucky, good player none the less Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa6995 3,645 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 One of if not my very favourite Rangers player.Epitomised everything that a True Ranger should be.Alex MacDonald is right up there with the very best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearosaurus 41 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 A right good bear who totally appreciated the priviledge of playing for Rangers and gave absolutely everything for the jersey!Also, vastly underrated by many non-Rangers people who thought he was merely a hard-working player. How wrong they were. He had excellent vision, talent, football brain, and a wonderful energy level.Also hated that other lot which is another admirable quality.When he took to the field, you just new he wasn't just playing for the jersey, he was playing for YOU. He was ALL OF US out on the park, especially against the mhanks.A TRUE BEAR Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
