A footballing genius with his left foot! Seriously!!

The great man would have been seventy years old today!

A wonderful player and as you say a genius. His left foot was like a wand and the way the ball stuck to it as if glued. As I've mentioned before the best British player I've seen.

One of the best goals he scored. Pure class.

1962 Scottish Cup Final.

Doddie scoring in a 2-0 win against Juventus in the European Cup in 1978.

Gordon Smith scores the second and winning goal v Juventus. 26th Sept 1978.

In the background are a few very fortunate spectators. The Copland Road Stand was in it’s very early stages of being built.

Alex Ferguson nearest the camera, in the Rangers ‘away’ blue and white striped shirt.

He scored four goals in this game against St Johnstone at Ibrox on 3rd March 1968.

‘Bud’ Johnston is the nearest Rangers player to the keeper! www.rangersarchives.co.uk

The great Willie Thornton.

First game of the 1986-87 season. Hibs away at Easter Road. ‘A few tackles’ were flying in that day.

Yes, tackles were flying in that day. Souness pleading innocence after the tackle. Nearly forty years ago. Where have all the years gone?!

What a great team.

From 1972.
