Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 10 hours ago, backup said: Far and away the ultimate book on a Rangers Captain and immortal legend. A great read . Jeff Holmes has written some really good books about Rangers in the past few years . The biographies of Bill Struth and Scot Symon also give a wonderful insight into some of the pivotal moments that helped shape our great Club . I would love to see one detailing the career of Alan Morton at some time in the future , as I recall reading Mr McPhail's book that was out in the early 90's IIRC . Much prefer books that concentrate on earlier era's than most of the modern age books . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On balance it seemed gloomier than i was expecting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornabear 6,186 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I enjoyed the books on Bill Struth and Scot Symon, both giving in depth enlightenment of their managerial ups and downs and how they handle them. Of the others I've read, The Goalie was a great read, very funny in places due to Goram's antics, he really is/was a fucking lunatic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ghost writer. His son has referred to it as the longest suicide note in history. Haven’t been able to read it yet. The Beast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Blue 2,051 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Let me know about The Waddell Year’s - although a huge figure in our history, he was quite a decisive figure and not a particularly nice person, allegedly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
