trueblue 64 613 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Best article I've read in a long time, Gazza really was something special and this article captures the rollercoaster journey of a true entertainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a different criteria to what makes you a Rangers legend. To me, he didn't play enough games to meet that criteria. You are a fucking joke at times. Constantly looking to trip people up but never really having anything insightful to say. Sad man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLaudrup 4,596 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thats a great read. We were blessed with some wonderful talent back then. I still treasure that as a boy growing up going to football I got to watch a player like Gazza in his prime. It wasn't just the football but also the bragging rights, when we could go and bring in one of the world's best midfielders. I feel Laudrup probably did more over the piece for us but some of Gazza's individual performances and feel good moments were unbelievable. He was a truly iconic signing.

Malvern 11,329 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Was an exceptional day when he signed but the number of English Internationals we had at the tme and the quality of the team was outstanding. c'mon the next 5 year England Euro ban.

Dunno if he beats Baxter, Cooper, Laudrup. Be a good debate to decide that one. Certainly the most famous and iconic player due to his exploits on the world stage at italia 90 and Euro 96, only Souness comes close in terms of how well known in world football they're.

Not seen much of Baxter and Cooper to be honest. Laudrup was a great player too but I think Gazza was a one off imo. If had to choose one player for our team now, it would be Gazza everytime..

Flatcap 489 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 We hardly needed it back then with the squad we had...but he kept us in the limelight. Every European newspaper and sports show followed every game due to Gazza being here. The lad had X-Factor galore and he wasn't past him prime either. In fact, his career probably gained a lot of momentum while he was here. He can thank Walter for that...he knew how to handle him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 100 appearances over three years in one of the best eras in the clubs history, scoring many vital and memorable goals I'd say Legend status is more about the players contribution to the Club rather than the number of appearances or how long they were here for. Gazza certainly made a fantastic contribution to Rangers and is certainly a legend in my eyes and I'd bet most folk my age probably agree, that's just my opinion of course, there's folk who think Kenny Miller is a legend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I tried to make was criteria to be a club legend should be based on brilliant talent & longevity. Obviously there are exceptional cases like Laudrup & Gascoigne who had amazing talent but we all wished they had stayed longer. That's the point I tried to make but I guess I didn't say it right looking back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
