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.
