A page inside for Hubbard and Davis would be enough. Apart from that the cover was horrible. As I said only my opinion, we had a friendly at Ibrox not so many years ago against Spurs which was played for the Walter Tull Trophy, a player who never kicked a competitive ball for us. I naively expected the Bury game to be played for the Hubbard Cup, would have taken very little effort to do this, a trophy, commemorative medals and a feature programme. Very least the club should have done for a great player , HOF inductee, ambassador for both RFC and RSEA, a man honoured by Her Majesty and regular attender at Ibrox until illness prevented him. Gerrard could easily have been the programme feature on first competitive game, and I would go as far as to suggest that if the circumstances were to have been explained to him our manager would have insisted on the Hubbard tribute. If Steven Gerrard is still coming to Ibrox when he's 87 I'll gladly make a case for him too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the programme design and most content was done prior to Hubbards death. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a fortnight, but valid point re programme design, editing and production, nevertheless plenty time to prep for Hubbard Cup. What were the chances of the first game after he crossed the Jordan being against the other club he played for? opportunity missed. Anyway Pete, as you've probably gathered had a bit of a man-crush for Mr Hubbard and as far as our new manager is concerned, probably due to pragmatic cynicism in juxtaposition with a generally pessimistic and cantankerous demeanour I am somewhat less sanguine regarding the appointment of youth coach rev2 than most. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
