Should NOMAD be blabbering to anybody other than AIM?

These are all attackers, GS, and of course attackers always come to mind when you think of the best players but there's an art to defending as well not necessarily bludgeoning tackling and blocking which is why I nominated Eric Caldow.

Denis Law wouldn't get into the World team ahead of your nominees but he would be available for selection. I know he wasn't a Rangers player but he damn well should have been!

Gio giving the opposition the hush.

All of Mikey's goals.

Widening the pool to include all Scots, Gordon Smith - not our one, the Hibbee - and Denis Law.

Wee jinky wisnae nor wee Wullie.

Of those who wore the hoops probably only KD (after he'd gone to L'pool) and Larsson. Sorry. Forgot he was Irish.

The greenyins obviously keep a case eye on events scheduled for Ibrox.

I never know what's on at the Brendan Broo nor do I care.

Eric Caldow beyond the shadow of a doubt and probably Sammy Cox.

Ian McMillan had world-class technique and a world-class football brain and part-timer's fitness.

" Does anyone know if he is a Rangers fan?"

"Lewis McLeod" sounds as good a Rangers name as you could get. "Louis" might have worried me.

Levy was Lewis' appointment to the board to keep tabs on SDM. Didn't quite happen.

The Levy we really needed was the 'Spurs guy.

Boring or what?

"what was he like? any good?"

Not bad. Ritchie and Niven were hard acts to follow and they had better defences in front of them.

Real Madrid just ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.

You're right. Leaving Roker was the start of the downfall. But at one time they, like Everton later, Sunderland were called the Bank of England Club. Lavish spending of the income from huge crowds in the days when the turnstyle was the only revenue source.

It's got to be said, he was a footballer you would pay to watch but he is never going to hack it as a manager. Management by volcano the chairman at Swindon said.

But there's something about Sunderland. A once mighty club in decline. Bruce and O'Neil both with some management credentials failed there.

My good old 1950s reefer still sits in the wardrobe. There was an expensive version of it in silk with the crest motive repeated and for the toffs there was a blue silk number, no red and white, just the crest repeated in gold.

I've said this many times. The best strip is the post-war Tiger Shaw outfit, the runner-up is the Jim Baxter 1963 V neck.

I don't hold with all the modern namby-pamby Jessie blouses.

"I've just signed it again,again and again"

Is that not a bit of a timmish practice?

What kind of team did the hiberenians put out? Hope it was their top XI.

JG should have been encouraged to do the same as McNeill and AF and gone to Falkirk or Thistle then taken a step up to Hearts before the big job.

He used to be the "expert" in BBC radio commentaries. Instead of burbling inanities like eg Billy Dodds or Derek Ferguson he would be fairly quiet then say something like "I can see a goal coming soon down Motherwell's left side" He would then go on to give his reasoning and as often as not it would happen as predicted.

He could certainly read a game.

I wouldn't be a Rangers supporter if I wasn't ready to grumble but if ever there was a day to bury the 7 - 1 aberration that was it.

"Little known fact, Henderson and McMillan didn't play that often together, probably a season and a half. It was mostly Alex Scott on the right with Ian inside.m"

True. Pity the substitute rule wasn't available then. Imagine starting with Scott or Henderson and the other on the bench. Full back's nightmare. And Rangers could probably have kept Billy Stevenson to come on for Greig or Baxter.

Here's a Scottish international team from that era and not a Ranger or a Celt in it:

Brown, Hamilton, Cox (all Dundee) Cumming (Hearts) Ure (Dundee/Arsenal) McKay (Hearts) Smith (Hibs/Hearts/Dundee) White (Falkirk/'Spurs) Young (Hearts) Gilzean (Dundee/'Spurs) Robertson (Dundee)

Plenty more to pick from - Slater, Parker (Falkirk) Martis, McCann, Weir, Hunter, Quinn, St John (M'well) Herd (Clyde/Arsenal) Glen, Leggatt, Buckley (Aberdeen) Hilley, Harley and Gray (Thirds) and Joe Baker of the Hibs. OK he was born in England but he talked like a Scotsman and played football like one.

Today's guys are fitter and faster but they don't have the talent of the old fellas.

Cost of gems? Priceless.

That Dundee final was superb a football match. Dundee were terrific. Rangers a wee bit better than terrific although McMillan had finished by then.

Twenty minutes of McMillan worth more than ninety minutes of most others.

If there had been substitutes in those days would you play him from the start and take him off after an hour or would you wait 'til the opposition was a bit tired and then bring him on for the final destruction?

How I remember the slide rule passes for the flyer Scott to race onto. Moravzcyk the nearest comparison of modern times.

DF's not that kind of lawyer.

Whyte can have no claim on Rangers. In his wildest dreams he may have a personal claim against Green and the shafters but I can't see how a Court would reduce the transfer from the old company to the new one and clawback the assets.

Rab. You said it. "Former labour Cabinet Minister"

The Government for the last three years has been Tory- ish.

You might be right about LBG but Reid is a busted flush.
