Ali retires and promises to return to Rangers. 19:07 - Feb 20 with 4114 viewsKodika

In my opinion (apart from Gerry Francis before his injury) the best midfielder I have seen play at Rangers. After the legends Stan Bowles and Rodney Marsh, I can’t think of any former player who was more popular and loved than Ali. What a player and a great human being.

Well I don't think the most ardent critics of ForeverR's will complain about him being added to that list.

Wonder if he wants a coaching role?

BTW, that article is riddled with mistakes.

One of my all time faves. Don't think I've ever been as upset as that third ACL. Heartbreaking. Also hit the post about 20 times for us. Never known anyone hit the post more.

Bare bones.

Absolutely loved Ale Faurlin, a wonderful, wonderful player.

But that article, as pointed out already, is appallingly written and researched. You'd be able to glean something more accurate from his Wikipedia profile.

One of my all-time favourites. Absolutely loved the way he played the game: two-touch football, always moving into space to give others an option, receiving the ball on the turn, looking for a positive pass, looking for a goal. And an aggressive tackler with it, determined to win the ball and the game. During lockdown I put together my best QPR XI and he was in it. Loved the guy. Everything you'd want in a midfielder.

Fully agree, it was his hard tackling and winning headers which were strange for such a skillful player but made him the complete package. Good personality to have around the place too.

I also love Ale. He just langorously caressed the ball around, always knew the couple steps to take to make the angle to receive a pass, and his ability to be in the right place to win tackles and headers was supernatural. His number of assist assists (ie the pass before the assist) must have been huge - he got the ball up the pitch.

If the OP loved Ale so much can he at least get his first name correct!

fantastic player and a real football tragedy that he didn't really get to grace the premiership due to the knee injuries.

One of the few players you could say had everything; from skill, aggression, personality, vision and attitude. Always loved watching him and never wanted a player to come back from injury and succeed as much as him since Gallen did his knee.

I won't be going downstairs at half time when Ale is back in town!

He's not the best player I've seen at Rangers since my first game in 1967, but he is my favourite player in that time!

Enjoy your retirement Ale & I look forward to welcoming you back to The Bush.

Glass knees, no pace, didn't score enough goals.

That first time pass by Kane for Spurs' first goal at City on Sat - I remember seeing Ale do that in one of his first games, away at Chelsea in the League Cup, and thinking 'hang on a minute...'

An amazing player for us. Probably the most elegant midfielder we've had in recent times, apart from Buzsáky. A wand of a left foot and always linked play so beautifully. Unbelievable resolve to beat 2 x career threatening injuries and arguably his best season was his last for us. A modern day legend for sure.

Never knowingly right.
