This title is written by a fan for the fans, covering the last 50 years of Rangers' history. This is a journey down memory lane, celebrating the past heroes of a great club. It includes assessments of managers and ponders the changes to Ibrox Stadium. This book is written by a Rangers' fan for Rangers' fans. The book covers the last 50 years of Rangers' history and so it should hopefully provoke memories in teenagers as well as in the older generation who witnessed the games and players described from the early 1960s until the end of season 2009/10. In a way, this is a unique football book in that it describes the momentous matches and achievements of Rangers since 1960, not from a player or manager's perspective, nor from a journalist's, but from the point of view of an ordinary Rangers' fan. Therefore, it is a very subjective account of the Rangers' players, managers and games that have contributed to the history of that great club over the past 50 years. This book takes the reader through the good times and the not-so-good times at Ibrox. Rangers being the world's most successful club, means that the good times have far outnumbered the bad times over the past 50 years and the author has been there throughout to see all of them. This journey down memory lane will celebrate the great side of the early 60s: Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow; Greig, McKinnon, Baxter; Henderson, McMillan, Millar Brand and Wilson as well as remind readers of the 4 European finals that Rangers has participated in. Famous European and domestic victories will be recorded, 9-in-a-row remembered as well as the darker times such as the Ibrox Disaster of 1971. Apart from the author's personal experiences of the last 50 years in following Rangers, he also shows us what was happening in his own life while these events were taking place. He admits that when trying to recall events in his own life he usually manages to do this when he associates these with what was happening to Rangers at the time. This book celebrates his life as well as that of the club that he has loved for over 50 years now.
