David Holmes Looking Suave

[Inigo 32,674]

No idea what he's doing nowadays, but pictured at the recent civic reception at the City Chambers.

A man all Bears should be thankful to for setting the ball rolling for some of the best times we've had. Would love to have a guy like him in the Boardroom now.

Anyway, like I say, he's looking great! Good to see!

Must be into his 90s by now.

Massively important figure in our history.

Vastly underappreciated, if a lot of our fans even know who he is

Bought my first season ticket the month Holmes took Souness to Ibrox.

Not by those who supported us back then, and those of us still living will always be grateful for his stewardship even if it was for a relatively short period of time, good to see him looking so well.

You cannot down play the role he played in the 80's Rangers revolution. I loved him as every time he spoke he seemed to bring good news. 100% Rangers man! Wish we had his likes on the board today.

He's in his late 80s. Born 1935 according to Companies House.

Christ. Tough paper round back in the day. Would never have said he was early 50s back then.

David Holmes and Lawrence Marlborough. Two names we should be forever grateful for. 

[gmcf 34,613]

Aye , without a doubt , the man that started it all again . 

[MisterC 12,404]

Just before my time but he did so much to reinvigorate the club and the support and deserves every bit of praise.

Some man. Remember when we won the first title, he was interviewed and the guy asked him why he wasn't smiling and he said he was sucking a lemon. Mundane shite but strangely memorable.

I can still hear his words when he introduced Souness as our player manager

Great pictures mate bringd it all back to the start of the Souness revolution

Genuine Rangers legend…

[King Jela 20,653]

A guy you don't ever hear about these days. In fact 11 years on this forum and I've rarely seen him brought up on here. I actually thought he passed some time ago.

As mentioned above, a genuine Rangers legend. Looks great for his late 80's.

Yep, ingrained in my memory too. 
Great times.

I remember Souness once saying back in the day never have an argument with him because he always wins .

Very sad that he has now been almost forgotten in our history and I wonder what he thought of the state that his "successor" left us in?
