Frankie 8,385 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just been sent an amazing image of a 1924 letter which invites James Bowie (later our chairman) onto the RFC board. Former player Bowie, later became chairman in 1935 for 12 years before the author of the letter, W. Rogers Simpson succeeded him. You can read more about the events of that period via this superb TRS article from last year: http://www.therangersstandard.co.uk/index.php/articles/club-history/261-the-1947-battle-for-the-blue-room-and-its-consequences-today The letter (in amazing condition) has been found inside an original version of the 'The story of Rangers 1873-1923' by John Allan which is being put up for sale/auction soon. A tremendous and topical piece of original memorabilia! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,010 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 James Bowie was removed from the Board thirty years later by a Bill Struth led power grab. James Bowie was a truly great Rangers ie he served the club in whatever the necessary capacity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
