Thermopylae 15,288 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Was the player who scored the most goals against him in his Rangers days Terry Butcher with 5? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvern 11,329 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 no idea mate but what a signing and a keeper, fuck sake if only we could have the likes again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymorrison1 1,035 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Could be right.Was the coolest keeper I think we have ever had..Never forget the days "and in goals, number 1.. Chris Woods! "Felt terrible when smith replaced him with goram, even if it was for the best.Great keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,254 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I think you will be right, in sure butcher scored 6 ogs in his time but couldn't say for certain they were all by woods as Nicky walker spent the majority of the next season in goals.

Thermopylae 15,288 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 It was Butcher ... the one I remember was at tannadice I was low down in the wee enclosure in front of the old stand and it was a spectacular header from the united keepers clearance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac 1,405 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Remember him scoring an OG at Falkirk and the Rangers fans cheered. Won 5-1 with a Fleck hat trick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson 4,670 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yes, that is a fact.Remember Chris Woods held the shut-out record at the time in Scottish football, so not many strikers did get the better of him and his defence.Big Terry with the diving bullet header did outdo him on occasion.

NixonRFC 1,477 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 God thats some question, is it Butcher right enough? I was thinking along the lines of Tommy Coyne, Hans Gilhouse, John Robertson and maybe even Dougie Arnott Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILLGAME 55 4,128 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 no idea mate but what a signing and a keeper, fuck sake if only we could have the likes again.we had a piece of wood in goals last season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It is Butcher. One of the boys in work asked a week or 2 ago and we couldn't get it for aboot 2 days Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 62,832 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Could have scored more if he hadn't had his leg broken by Big Eck!! Woods was a brilliant keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show how amazing the Souness revolution was. Imagine Warburton going out next week and signing John Terry and Joe Hart?!Unbelievable really!!

SteveEarle 10,007 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 What helped was the euro ban down south (I think?).Yeah the Hysel disaster and subsequent ban of club sides from Europe probably did make a huge difference to our signing power. For a period we were linked to almost every England international going. Would love to see our goalkeepers return to the classic Woods kit of yellow shirt, white shorts and red socks.That was smart!

Only 26 when he signed for us. Christ I feel old now....I was gutted when he left but with hindsight it wasn't a problem. Goram was the best ever!

barrymorrison1 1,035 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think the euro ban, and the fact that we could pay almost the same as the clubs in England at that time, (pre sky epl days), also Scottish clubs were getting the same entry deal into European competitions at the time, ie no qualifiers, I think these players didn't see it as a step down in my eyes. They were great days though.As I said, big woodsie was the start of a long line if incredible keepers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the lines of Tommy Coyne, Hans Gilhouse, John Robertson and maybe even Dougie ArnottI see you are trying to peddle the myth that everyone else was shite when Rangers were winning titles.I think he had to face better players than those you mention above. Here's some mythbusters to counter your snide post.Mo Johnston, Davie Cooper, Jim Bett, Charlie Nicholas, Brian McClair, Frank McAvennie, Paul McStay, John Hewitt, Mark McGhee, Tommy Burns, Alan McInally, Dariusz Dziekanowski, Kevin Gallacher, Paul Sturrock, Iain Ferguson all faced up to Chrissy Woods.Add a wee dash of Blokhin, Rats, Belanov, Mikhailichenko, Rahn, Furtok, Littbarski, Hassler, Thon, Augenthaler, Prosinecki, Pancev. Terry Butcher scored more against him than any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Butcher scored more against him than any of them. lay off the glue, peddle a myth? What age are you?Tommy Coyne was fucking untouchable for a season in the late 80s, scored about 35 goals for Dundee, he then went onto the Piggery and I can remember him getting a couple against us aswell with them, I dont think its a stretch ti assume he scored 5 goals against us in Woods time although maybe not directly against Chris Woods...Dougie Arnott I'm sure scored a hat-trick against us just after Souness fucked off and left us in the lurch and almost cost us the 3 in a row while Motherwell always gave us a game back then and if you are suggesting Hans Gillhaus wasn't a good striker then you really don't have a fucking clue, the guy won the European Cup with PSV the year before the Sheep signed him and the year after the Sheep signed him was in the Dutch World Cup squad for Italia 90Just for the exclamation mark, John Robertson scored about 250 goals for Hearts including a good few against us over the years, I remember him getting a few past Woods, one being a last minute penalty at Ibrox to win them the game but Newcastle signed him although he was back up the road within a year I think.This thread isn't about the best players that played in the League when we were the top dogs FFS its about what strikers were about at rhe time that done damage against Chris WoodsStop being a paranoid wreck, I'll accept a grovelling snivelling apology tho' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
