TEFTONG 60,261 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That trip over to Munich with my Dad and 2 Cousins on the Kinning Park 2nd Bus remains a wonderful memory of just how amazing the travelling support Rangers could rely on. So much German beer and humongous amounts of blue label vodka was swallayed on that trip. The impromptu Orange Walk round the streets of Munchen the night before the game..Outstanding.. The Bouncey Bouncey on the Train to the Stadium..Madness.. That cnut Kahn being partly responsible for us loosing a truly fantastic Striker on what looked like one of our best performances in Europe for years.. The main memory that always haunted me (apart from the ref awarding a soft as shite penalty) was Johnaton Johannsen missing a glorious chance near the end that would have seen us qualify if he had buried it in the onion bag.. Mols if he had been a bit more nasty could have avoided getting injured..But Khan will always be a cnut to me.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker maybe but there are players way ahead of Mols even before his injury in terms of sheer talent like Laudraup, Gazza, Cooper, Baxter, Greig and so on. I don't even think he'd be one of our greatest ever strikers tbh. I don't get this argument that the injury in the Bayern Munich game robbed us of some sort of superstar striker either. Other than his final season with Utrecht before we signed him he never hit more than 20 league goals in a season. After he returned from injury we got pretty much the same goal scoring record from him that he had had throughout his whole career. Fantastic player for us, just not as good as some seem to remember.

Plenty of players, in particular strikers, can find form in their later 20s though. Just start banging in the goals, but the thing about Mols was it was never just about his goals. You really had to watch him to see how good he was. He was never 100% about the stats, he was an entertainer with outstanding ball control and quite correctly held in such high regard. We will never know if we were robbed of a superstar, which makes it all the more thought provoking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mols was amazing he had the skills and the only thing that surprises me is he was not at Ajax or PSV before we even got near him. Will never ever forgive that cunt Kahn for what he did. 3.50 minutes in... what did he do to him, mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the one I remember, we were right behind Kahns goal and to this day I don't know how he got his fingers to Johannson's shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that if you look at his stats throughout his career there's nothing to suggest that the injury had any huge affect on his ability as a player. We undoubtedly missed out on a few more goals from him as he seemed to have hit a purple patch around that time in his career but when he returned from injury it seemed to be business as usual for him. Personally I think the claims that he was this world class striker are wide of the mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long said had he not got injured we would have been lucky to keep him for another season or two. I am 100% certain that had his injury not been so bad he would have been better than Larsson. watched highlights of the Bayern Munich games home and away the other week and he ran them ragged on his own what we would do for someone of his quality now. Always have the conversation and 100% agree with you he would have been a superstar and he's 1 of my all time favourite players Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading that as referring to Jim Baxter's leg break in the last minute against Rapid Vienna in the 1964-65 European Cup. Man for man we were as good as the tarriers who won it two years later with favourable draws all the way to the final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
