Big Doug playing for Aberdeen at Ibrox, in I think 1983.

Some fine players and a great management team in this picture. I have a replica of the shirt. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Rangers winning the Cup Winners Cup, the year after us.

Top kits/ tracksuits.

 

Cubilias was an amazing player.
Some Scottish football supporters of ‘a certain vintage’ will still shudder at the mere mention his name !😀

Both England and Scotland went on a mini tour of South America in June 1977. Here’s a couple of photos.

The  ‘Follow Follow’  video came out in the summer of 1984.
Cost £29.99 to buy, which was a fortune in 1984. That year...😀
In context, it was I think £2.50 to go and watch Rangers back then !!

Some of the Glasgow shipyards had ‘unofficial copies’ doing the rounds on blank tapes. Allegedly!!😀

Great to see Frank in this eleven. Also good to see James Tavernier.

@erskblue Thanks for the information. I'd forgotten how much video tapes cost back in the day. A lot of money. I still have a load of VHS tapes and a VCR although I haven't used them in years.

I used to buy the Follow Follow magazine and have a few copies at home. I also look on the Follow Follow Forum as well. Some great articles and posts on there.

Boyne: No problem. I don’t know why that price stayed with me ! The football trivia that I remember from back then...😀

We too still have a few VHS tapes, mostly football and have a DVD / VCR machine that we still use occasionally.

The last video I remember watching was the original of ‘The Italian Job.’

 The ‘Follow Follow’ video is available on YouTube. As is the stage show from 1994 of the same name.

I confess that I hadn't heard of Cino so had to look him up. Scored loads of penalties and free-kicks. There was another goalie - I think he was from Paraguay - and can't remember his name but he scored a number of free-kicks and penalties.
