Gers Mourn Norrie Martin

[Guest ayrshireranger]

'RANGERS legend Sandy Jardine has led the tributes to former Light Blues goalkeeper Norrie Martin who has sadly passed away.

 

Ladybank-born Martin moved to Ibrox in 1958 from Hamilton, initially as a third-choice keeper to George Niven and Billy Ritchie, and during his 12 years at Ibrox he made 126 appearances with 15 of them in Europe.

 

During the 1966/67 season he wore the number one jersey in the Cup Winners’ Cup, playing against Borussia Dortmund, Real Zaragoza, Slavia Sofia and in the Final which Rangers lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich.'

Don't remember thinking at the time that we were weakened when he was on the teamsheet.

 

Someone else gone from the old days.

 

RIP Norrie.

To be honest I don't think Rangers have ever had a bad keeper.

I am not sure of the order any more as my mind is blown but I think Norrie martin took over from Billy Ritchie and then came Gery Neef

Erik Sorrenson?(SP) and Peter Mccloy, Who was the keeper who took over long term .

Gerry Neef was in goal for my first ever Rangers game a league cup section tie v Raith Rovers. He got knocked out if I remember correctly.

Before my time but sad anyway.

 

Harsh on the bold Joseph. A perfectly passable keeper and an excellent backup to Woods.
