Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 That's weird - ive got the day off ans watching this game this morning (2nd leg) on the Barca 72 dvd Ive seen the goals a hundred times over the years but never the whole match. Two things stuck out - Willie Mathieson played at right back that evening - yeh 'wan foot' And Dave Smith was brilliant that evening as well as the final.

Wullie Wan Foot took some abuse back then but he was a far better player than so much of the dross we've seen wearing the jersey in recent times. You could even compare the much maligned Jim Denny favourably against some of the nonentities we've had to suffer watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 9,022 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 In the first video about half way through you can hear big jock barking instructions to the players lol, in a stadium with 80,000 in ha, I miss the big man, he epitomised everything about being a Ranger for me growing up as a boy.

The Ibrox Derry 9,022 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Most of that Bayern side went onto win the European championship that summer of '72, and win the World Cup 2 years later. The rendition of Derry's Walls and We shall not be Moved brings tears to my eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom0411 1,228 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Possibly the best atmosphere at Ibrox ever. Also remember Der Kaiser kicking the ball into the enclosure in frustration as he had nobody to pass to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingBear72 476 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I wasn't born till years after this, however, my old man raised me on stories of Henderson (his favourite ever player) Johnstone, Stein etc. Sadly my boy has had to endure the last 5 years lot as his "heroes". Always fascinates me watching older clips of the famous. I love seeing old Ibrox packed like a giant tin of sardines and hearing the atmosphere. I can only imagine what it was like to be apart of. Great find OP, cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKai 439 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Has to be the best night I ever had at Ibrox. Was in 'The Derry' and it was mental...! Yes, us 'auld yins' could sing all right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,519 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Still my favourite game , though I could have sworn that Willie Mathieson played left back that night . Remember Beckenbauer arguing with Sepp Maier that night. Great night with 80,000 in Ibrox. When we scored the second goal after about 25 min I kept wanting the fed to blow for full time , the nerves were shredded by the end of the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only started to believe we were safe when Bud sat on the ball ... He did that right where we were. My brother used to put me on the wall at the front, then go back and stand with his mates further back. He would come down to collect me at the end of the game. I never realised how big a game that was, in our history, at the time, now thinking back I can't believe how we actually beat them. They had a team full of world class players, and I still expected us to win. I remember my mother saying afterwards that I was the only one that thought we'd win that night. I was the youngest, and maybe that had more to do with it than anything else. Blind faith?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Smith 55 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ive always said we dont get the recognition we deserve for the quality of opposition we beat that season.That Bayern side are rated one of the greatest sides ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the years that was as noisy as I have ever heard Ibrox, "Barcelona here we come", full pelt for the whole second half. Big Jock, met him twice, - you speak the truth sir and what you saw was exactly what you got, still recall greetin when he passed and tears do not come easily to me.

Orange Persson 548 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 We were tough, disciplined, and methodical. We also had had many players who could hold the ball and play. The balance of the side was amazing and everyone knew their job and backed each other up. We could score in many different ways and our crossing and set plays were deadly at times with our ariel power. Belief was instilled by Big Jock and he had them thundering at times. Nobody from anywhere liked playing us back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
