The Moonlighter 3,624 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 John Crawford didn’t return home from Ibrox on the 2nd January 1971. He was only 23 years old. John rests in Lambhill Cemetery Glasgow. Today we’re putting out this appeal in attempt to locate family or relatives of John Crawford with a view to restoring the headstone at his final resting place. From a file I’ve been given I believe John may have come from Springburn. If you can provide any information please call us on 0790 2855536 or send an email to thefounderstrail@gmail.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were more than happy to give us the go ahead to start the restoration work on the plot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Guys . I was in Budapest recently I seen this amazing monument to the fallen heroes . It wasn't just a name of the person that was on the monument It was the name and the fallen persons photo . Like a profile photos .Not one with them eating bag of chips It's good that we have the monument with the names of the 66 on it . I think the relatives , would love if their was a visual memory as well I was thinking of suggesting it to the club . A marker with a photo for these tragic Rangers fans would be a longer lasting memory for future generations Thoughts guys ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Millwall's New Den a couple of seasons ago and they have a small memorial garden behind the home end and I thought that was a great idea but can understand the problems we would have in regards to having something similar at Ibrox . Perhaps the photo idea could be incorporated on the wall where the John Greig statue is . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to find the photo I took when I was in Budapest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
