Former player photos 14:30 - Sep 3 with 6883 views

Hi everyone, Bury fan in peace.

My uncle, Brian Williams, played for Rangers in the 70s after signing from Bury. It's his 70th this year and I'm collecting images of him throughout his career with us, you, Swindon, both Bristol teams and Shrewsbury.

Is there a Rangers fan, like I know there are Bury fans, who has a vast archive of pictures that might include some of him that I could use?

Any help in pointing me in the right direction of someone would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I found a couple of images of Brian in a programme for the game against Aston Villa on 20 Aug 1977 (we lost 2-1, Brian came on as a sub for Gerry Francis apparently)

The first one says it is of the Rangers squad at the beginning of the season as they fly off to Belgium before beating Derby and AEK Athens to win the Bruges Tournament Cup.

If you want me to try and get better quality versions of this images, drop me a message and I'll get one of the kids to help me!

According to Gordon Macey's record book, Brian played 19 league, 2 FA cup and 2 league cup games for Rangers.

[Fcuking hell.. now rummaging through my old programme boxes and reviving all sorts of old memories... seeing my old man's handwriting on the team lineup pages is making me a bit emotional. And I just found a copy of "Ooh, I Think It's My Groin!" fanzine... no work being done this afternoon!]
