GrandSuckMaster 1,775 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was about 16 when Hendry played for us and I can't really remeber why we let him go. I think he was only with us for abvout a season and a half and didn't have many, if any, bad games. I know he was getting on a bit but surely he could have stayed a few more years. Can anyone remember why he left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Advocaat didn't like him. Can't believe we paid £4m for a 33 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delparlane 5,710 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I still have my jersey with Braveheart's name & number on it - was delighted when we signed him, and ultimately disgusted with Advocaat's treatment of him. Big Colin deserved a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 excellent cenre back , got a raw deal IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,236 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Murray signed him to appease the media criticism of us buying foreign players. Dick did not like him humping long balls and hooked him for doing so a few times. I never thought he waa as good as people made out as I hate defenders, especially central defenders, who go to ground when tackling and end up unable to recover when the ball is lost.

DrGordonsSobriety 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 He turned slower than the QE2. Advocaat thought he was too slow for the team he was building for Europe and he was right. I loved big Colin playing for Scotland but it was never goign to work at Rangers. He was tool old, too limited and too slow for us. Advocaat wanted a player at CB with lots more to offer.

CanadianGer 1 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 as I remember, Advocaat also wanted to build his defence around Amoruso rather than Hendry, given Colin was well into his 30's by the time he arrived at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. As I said, he wanted someone with more to offer. Hendry was an awful passer o the ball and couldnt shoot for toffee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,287 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 We probably did overpay given his age but he formed a good solid partnership with Amo. I hope his wife is better health these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,519 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Everytime big Col launched a ball from one end of the park to the other Dick used to go tonto on the touchline at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
