RIP to my old Grandpa - the man who made me an "R" 04:33 - Aug 29 with 3342 viewsThaiHoop

Got a call at 4.20 in the morning over here to say my dear old Grandpa passed away in England.

He used to be one of the top dogs at Birkbeck College at the time when we trained there in the 70's and 80's and used the complimentary tickets he got to take me to my first football matches in the early 80's. Even though there is no affiliation to Rangers in my family prior to me, the time he spent with me in those early days led to my lifelong love for our great club.

Sleep well Grandpa and thanks for the wonderful memories xxx

RIP to you Thai. Sounds like your grandpa was one heck of a guy.

Never knowingly right.

Cheers everyone - been a pretty difficult day trying to concentrate on teaching 30 three year old kids who quite rightly couldn't give a monkeys about my personal problems! They just wanna be entertained!!!!

Nice to come back online and see some of these messages.

It's great being a Superhoop :)

If the Buddhists are right then I hope he comes back as the scorer of our Champions League winning goal in 2023/24 (no need to be too time specific - any year will do, if you're listening, Buddha.)

Sorry for your loss. He sounds like a good man

As the transfer window is still open till Monday I don't think there is an issue moving from being a Catholic to Budishm.

Ha ha - that's quality Stonebridge!

Got visions of Buddha coming out of the pearly gates in his car, winding the window down "yeah, I've been talking to God and his people and we're hoping to get something done by Monday - Bob's a t'riffic lad and would be just the right sort we need for this faith"

Followed by Jesus complaining about broken fax machines at Buddha's end and ending with a picture of my Grandpa being paraded for the press in front of a temple holding up some orange robes with his name on!!!
