King Jela 20,545 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I was playing golf with a very good friend of Browns a week ago, by chance.I asked the question about him being a boyhood Gers fan and was told he never was.Was a Hibs fan, but would always prefer the Tims over us.So that myth should thankfully be put to bed I think.Kevin Thomson, his very best mate, confirmed he was a Rangers fan in an Interview when he left us.

harlands plater 17,006 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Conn said he signed for the tarriers because he wanted to play under big Ba'Face. Quite an insult to Willie Waddell and Jock Wallace who gave him his chance at Ibrox and made him the player he was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP FC 400 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 He complained about the contract he was offered, ie he wanted 2 years on 5k, we offered him 1 year at 10k, which is the same thing. He also was thinking about taking us to court, for bonuses that was not getting paid ( it was all paper talk so it could be all fake but he never came out after and disclaim it)Shouldn't be in this list. If the guy was due money, then he should get it. If indeed it was being withheld, then he was entitled to use any means to get it.Just because you like your employer , doesn't mean your family's welfare should be put at risk.

The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Conn said he signed for the tarriers because he wanted to play under big Ba'Face. Quite an insult to Willie Waddell and Jock Wallace who gave him his chance at Ibrox and made him the player he was.Conn signed for the tims because they would sign him without him having to take a medical. His knees were knackered at Spurs and the then manager of them wanted him out because he was an "Orange B*stard" - terrible stuff. At the time he needed the money (it was before players made such a good wage as nowadays) so signed for them.He never took another medical in his career and after them he was only offered pay as you play deals.

King Jela 20,545 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Dodds and Butcher are 2 that I seriously fucking despise. Dodds is a complete turncoat arsehole and Butcher is a bad-mouthing, bitter fucking wanker of a man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,280 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Never had a great deal of time for Richard Gough.Heard him in a radio interview around 1997 talking about leaving us and going to play in the States. Was going on big style about how him and his family needing a change and the chance to wind down a bit after him playing over 10 years at the top level at Ibrox without a break. All five of us in the car listening to this were taken aback at how removed he was from reality of the normal working man. He made it sound as if he had been working 12 hours a day down a pit for the last 10 years rather than going in at 10 o'clock each morning for a couple hours training and kicking a ball about. And getting paid more than the five of us in the car put together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because of 1 game in florence, Alexander is a genius? Nah man I was never a fan of Big Neil just like I was never a fan of Davis after his loan move to us.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Didn't know Dalglish was one of us having said that his managerial record there should have gave it away No idea who Bertie Peacock is/was in only a young un but good to learn some more information from our clubs pastDalglish grew up being a Bear and he admitted that when Sean Fallon came to his house to sign him on the orders of Jock Stein, he ran upstairs and ripped all his Rangers posters off his bedroom wall.Bertie Peacock was one that sadly got away from us as he was a brilliant left sided player who tackled like a Tiger and left nothing on the pitch. Definitely one of the best to come out of Northern Ireland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then came runners up to West Germany in the round of 16 knocking out a very strong Czechoslovakia and Argentina before being eliminated by a quality France side (who finished 3rd)Bertie Peacock was a key player for them in that era.
