Popular Post CS68 204 Posted April 30 Popular Post Share Posted April 30 Hope the commissioning is done properly and is awarded to a sculptor capable of producing something that looks like Walter and not some lame Madame Tussaud's caricature. Most statues of folk bear little resemblance to them. Albertz85, Dan Deacon, Sunglasses Ron and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Greig had mixed feelings about seeing his statue unveiled, said something in his book about it being a strange feeling seeing a statue of yourself while you're still around .

There really should be a section of the hall of fame for staff, such a shame that some of our greatest managers like Jock Wallace won’t really receive the proper recognition. Would also allow us to recognise important people to the club from behind the scenes like a Jimmy Bell, Tiny Gallacher or even some coaching staff like Archie Knox for example Negri's lovechild, theblueoysterbar, Rowley Birkin and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueVanguard 6,835 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Still remember crying my eyes out hearing this news. Held it together all day then Rangers uploaded a video with the piano music and clips of him and I just broke. Never knew the man but he felt like he was apart of my childhood. Really miss Walter and I am just glad he was in charge during my generation. In 100 years time the Rangers fans will be looking back on Walters Era and we got to see it.
