Inducted into Forever Rs…he's called Micky these days.
One of the first players I can remember. Sadly he was a bit of a target for boo boys. OK he wasn't a world beater but had gumption.
Anyone else remember him - a lifetime ago admittedly. |  | | |  |

I remember him and saw him play in the later part of the 50's.
From distant memory he played on the right side as a winger. | | | |

Well now I feel really ignorant.
Never knew he was a Hoop (100 games !) and I spent parts of my youth at Wealdstone questioning in song his mother's promiscuity. For me he was just another loser manager for that pile of doo-dah, Harrow Borough.
Apologies MT (and his Mum). | | | |

Yes, it was a long time ago - my dad used to give me a penny three farthings, so I could get a pint of mild and bitter on the way home. | | | |

Nice to see him recognised in his lifetime. He was apparently an electric winger for us in the 50s. I'm not sure he could do a job for us now at 91 though... However, if he was a right back... |  |

A little before my time. I would imagine he must be the oldest surviving Rangers player?
Lovely story though. | | | |

What a lovely article. It's great that our club acknowledge players of yesteryear, that few people have heard and even fewer remember playing. Excellent. | | | |

Yes I saw Mike play, had a funny hair style, but an honest
player. |  | | |

Another old boy who was in the Tomkys era was Pat Kerrins who wikipediea say is 88 years old born 13th September 1936.
Pat played for Rangers from 1953-1960 as an outside left and scored 30 goals in 146 appearances. | | | |

I think pat passed away several years ago as I remember. | | | |

I started going In 1958 so I'm guessing I must have seen him play, I can't remember bloody anything anymore.
I remember the tea hut In the corner of the loft though, and the enormous teapot.
Burgers hadn't been Invented back then. |  |

Another player from when beer was tuppence a pint was centre forward Joe Cini. A Maltese international who sported a beard, very unusual then.
Anyone remember him ? | | | |

Didn't we have a longish discussion about this many years ago; or was that another Board? | |

Bingo! I've just remembered, one of my Brother in Laws dated his daughter, or it may have been his niece, back in the early / mid 90's.
Apologies if you read this MB darling, but you were a bit of a headache.
