Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, To Barcelona and Beyond: The Men Who Lived Rangers' European Dream, Paul Smith, Of the 113 trophies Glasgow Rangers boast, only one was claimed on foreign shores. The triumph over Moscow Dynamo in the 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup final in the famous Nou Camp Stadium is the achievement four decades of Rangers teams have tried, and failed to emulate. Forty years on, To Barcelona and Beyond charts the twists and turns of that famous European campaign and tells the real story of the men who made it happen. Through in-depth interviews with the Nou Camp heroes and comprehensive profiles, this unique collection of tales reveals how each of the eleven homegrown players found themselves at the centre of one of Scotland's rare European triumphs and just where football's rollercoaster took them in the 40 years that followed. The class of '72 included Scottish player of the year winners Sandy Jardine, John Greig, David Smith and Derek Johnstone, as well as fellow internationals Peter McCloy, Alfie Conn, Colin Stein, Alex McDonald and Willie Johnston. They fused together on a May night in Spain to create football history. Each has a fascinating story... READ ONLINE [ 8.3 MB ] Reviews An incredibly awesome ebook with perfect and lucid answers.

Jeff Holmes Jeff Holmes Just Champion: The Stories Behind Rangers’ 2020/21 Title Triumph tells the tale of a league title win against all the odds. Rangers were ridiculed in 2018 when they appointed rookie manager Steven Gerrard. But slowly, and methodically, he transformed Rangers into a machine, and one that would completely dismantle Celtic’s hopes of landing an unprecedented tenth successive title. Now, 30 members of the Rangers family - from ex-players to loyal supporters - tell their stories of how the title came home to Ibrox. Title Triumph 2020/21 Behind Rangers’ The Stories Mark Walters, Marco Negri and Lisa Swanson are among the players The Stories Behind Rangers’ featured, as are former directors Dave King, John Gilligan and Paul Murray. Add to this Andy Cameron MBE, Sir Brian Donohoe and even 2020/21 Title Triumph one of Her Majesty’s Ambassadors, and the cast list grows more impressive by the minute. TV stars, restaurateurs, coaches, entertainers; they’re all here in one book. You will laugh, cry and marvel as each individual tells their tale. And what connects this anthology of stories is each individual’s unequivocal love of a football team. And that team is Glasgow Rangers.

Annual Review 2019 Front Cover
ANNUAL REVIEW 2019 www.theredcard.org Artwork by Lily May Frost, Cwm Glas Primary School, Swansea 1 F O R E W O R D incredible growth in our outreach programmes and workshops, with over 5,000 young people having been introduced to our messages of empathy, acceptance and love for each other and ourselves. While football clubs have always supported us, and have always been the foundation for our work, here too we’ve seen increases in numbers along with an unwavering support from those who have always been there for us. This year’s Wear Red Days in Scotland and then in England and Wales can only be described as monumental successes. Thousands of you wore red in a show of unity and support that sent the clearest of messages of who we are, and what world we want our kids to inherit. This is who we are! This is who the decade has made us! But we could not have negotiated the challenges of the decade without those who have been the examples that we all need - our staff. In the last decade our staffing numbers have doubled, as more and more young adults are choosing to be the example that our young people need. A need that is greater now than it has ever been has seen our staff become the best of us. So while the tens has given us all those shake- your-head moments, these are the numbers FOREWORD that have defined the last decade for us. S H A K A H I S L O P - H O N O R A R Y While the last year alone bore witness to events P R E S I D E N T from Calgiari to Sofia, from Verona to Haringey Borough (two Yeovil Town fans were arrested), Never mind it being a new year, this is a whole we have also witnessed more and more players new decade.

Chapter Six Ally Dawson
Chapter Six Ally Dawson During the last couple of years, we have on more than one occasion had good cause to refer to the ‘Rangers Family’ as fans far and wide have rallied to support their toiling club in its hour of need. But there is one former Ibrox stalwart who can lay genuine claim to having come from a bona fide Gers family. Signed as a prodigious schoolboy by Jock Wallace, Ally Dawson made his first team debut at the tender age of just 16 – in 1975 – in a pre-season tour of North America. He would go on to lift the Scottish Cup as captain of the most decorated club in the world seven years later. And the talented defender described that moment as “the high point of my career.” He said: “I had grown up a Rangers supporter and my whole family had close connections with the club. In fact, my uncle just retired at the end of 2015, at the age of 80, after giving 50 years’ service to Rangers. He worked in many different departments at the club.” The versatile defender also gave sterling service to the Rangers from 1975 to 1987, and despite suffering horrific injuries such as a fractured skull, and a dislocated and fractured jaw, the Johnstone- born defender racked-up more than 300 top-team appearances for the Light Blues. A club legend? Absolutely. Dawson played through the pain barrier many, many times for Rangers, but in his own words, said: “I was fortunate enough to play for the club I loved and had supported as a boy.
