Steve Gallen’s U18’s side won 1-0 last night at Tooting & Mitcham United. Marcel Henry-Francis scored our goal after 86 minutes. Rangers had previously come close on 70 minutes when Frankie Sutherland’s free kick hit the crossbar. There were around 250 people watching the game at Tooting’s very nice, modern ground. Apparently AFC Wimbledon have had their eyes on it but … Continue reading →

This was my first ever visit to Bodmin but the R’s had previously played there in 1989 to kick off their Centenary year. I don’t have the line-up but Gordon Macey informed me that before a good crowd of 2,119, Rangers won 2-1 with goals from Gray and Wright. I took the 12.06 from Paddington and spent most of the journey talking to an ex-referee from Cornwall. The journey from Exeter and along the seawall through Dawlish and Teignmouth is … Continue reading →

Today marks the anniversary of the friendly in Marburg, Germany on 20th July, 1975, the pre-season result that was the prelude to Rangers’ serious push on the 1976/76 Championship. ‘Bild’- the German market leading newspaper, the biggest selling daily paper in Europe in 1975 (and still is today in 2010) wrote:- ‘In front of 7,500 astonished spectators, the British team from London were more athletic and had more bite than their opponents. After Jensen’s opening goal (10th minute) and Bowles’s … Continue reading →

SR: I didn’t realise that you were such a big R’s fan, how did that come about ? SL: I became an R’s fan in October 1985 when I first went to Loftus Road on trial and then a month later as young 15-year-old, I signed schoolboy forms along with Kevin Kingsmore. I remember that season well, the build up to the Milk Cup Final and how proud I felt when we defeated Liverpool in the semi-final. SR: I read … Continue reading →

Team: Kenny, Hill, Leigertwood, Hall, Gorkss, Derry, Buzsaky, Faurlin, Mackie, Clarke, Helguson. Subs: Cerny, Ramage, Borrowdale, Stewart, Connolly, Parker, Ephraim, German. Kicking off our pre-season campaign this summer was the trip to Tavistock in deepest Devon. I would of loved to have spent more time there but with no operational train station in the vicinity, I was relieved when Roger Stokes phoned me to confirm that he was going to drive there. ‘The Lambs’ were founded in 1888 and this … Continue reading →

Whilst having a coffee break during our regular visit to Lakeside Shopping Centre, I found myself reflecting on the way life has changed since the 50’s and 60’s. In the 50’s, there were no shopping Centres such as Westfield, Lakeside and Bluewater with a multitude of shops located under one roof. No large DIY chains such as B & Q or IKEA type one stop retailers (most of these were not created until the late 60’s and later) and the … Continue reading →

Team: Parkes, Clement, Gillard, Masson, McLintock, Webb, Thomas, Francis, Beck, Bowles, Givens. Sub: Shanks Attendance: 38,917 John Hollins captained the opposition and Ray Wilkins also played. Ken Jones’s match report appeared in the Sunday Mirror the following day: ‘Dave Sexton was delighted, but he wouldn’t let it show. Gloating is not his style. “I was nervous,” he admitted, as though embarrassed by the completeness of his comeback. Sacked by Chelsea three months ago, his return to Stamford Bridge as manager … Continue reading →
