bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Regarding his first spell with us..Outstanding, from a guy who put folk in the Copland and Broomloan rear in danger with his shooting to move on to the player he was before he left was unreal..That's how I'll remember him as a Ranger.

Marky. 6,965 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not sure if I'd see he is one of the best Scottish footballers ever produced, but I would say he was a great player for us, and he led the team to a ton of success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD.1872 890 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Cue the abuse...A brilliant player for us first time round, a stand out in a team full of European stars. Proves how good a player he really was. Cheers for the memories Barry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,318 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 A true rangers legend, should never be forgotten. Watched him boss the midfield for a decade. My type of player one who could boss the pace of a game...fuck the reputation of the opposition.Hopefully as a successful boss his day will come at Ibrox.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Smashing player from the very start as a teenager. Proved to be a great captain for a number of years, would love to think we will see someone like him again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,824 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not sure he was ever quite the same after his injury at Blackburn but he was a brilliant footballer. Great passer of a ball. His FK against them in the cup final Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Strolled it against some of Europe's best. I always remember the 7-1 game against Dundee United when he came back, was my first at Hampden! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I remember driving up to the stadium on the bus and seeing the fans going mental on the streets outside. By the time you walked in through the front doors you felt eight foot tall. You realise the game is going to be televised all around the world. This is your chance to show everyone what you can do against the best. I’ll always remember playing against Lothar Matthaus and Bayern Munich in 1999 when I had just got into Dick Advocaat’s team. I was just a wee boy and had total respect for that guy but as soon as I crossed that line I wanted to destroy him.Anyway, I must have been a pain in the a*** because he poked me in the eye during the away game against them at the Olympic Stadium. I had been in about his ankles from the start and he probably thought, ‘Who’s this skinny little runt from Scotland, running about with the plooks on his chin? What have we got here?’And I have to admit, I loved it. I knew right then I was giving him a game. Lothar Matthaus, one of the greatest players in the world, had just poked me in the eye. I couldn’t have been prouder.Now I’m older I look back and I see it from his point of view and I laugh at myself. I know what it’s like when you’re up against kids who are trying to fire in about you.But that’s the attitude you need. I turn into a different animal out there and that’s the way it has to be.The downside is that people get a perception of you from what they see on the pitch. And that sticks. I know people still look at me and think this guy’s a wee ned – all because I ran about with my face all screwed up, shouting and bawling.That used to bother me. But you get older and wiser and you learn to accept things. I look back now and say, ‘Look at him, he’s running around like a f****** idiot’. Then I realise it’s myself I’m watching.

TMB 14,167 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He use to control the entire game of football. It was all played at his pace. We can only dream of someone like him breaking threw the youth ranks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
