First Team Who’s the most random player that you often think about?
The 6ft 3 Serbian Zidane is that player for me. 7 beautiful appearances and for some reason stuck with me as a 13 year old watching football properly for the first time.
Think he may have been decent in that years fifa as well.
Who’s your random player from years past?

Of the same era Madjid Bougherra and DaMarcus Beasley constant appear in my memory

Was out at the casino once and I said to my pal that looks like a fat Madjid Bougherra... He turned back to me and says no that's just Madjid Bougherra.

Brahmin Hemdani.
Woefully underrated IMHO.
His distribution was immense

The only good Welshman we’ve had I’m fairly sure.

Brought in for an old firm game if memory serves me right. The one at Chamber of Secrets which we won 1-0 and basically secured 9IAR. Played it, won it, played some more games til Goram returned then left

Ronald de Boer had the best football brain of any player I've ever seen, Oleksiy Oleksandrovych Mykhaylychenko, who Walter largely wasted on the left wing and Brahim Hemdani, the unsung hero of our road to Manchester in 2007/08.

The bucket of KFC, fishing rod, and Raoul Moat for me

If Gazza was still playing he could have had the "bucket of Iheanacho's & cheese" that the filth signed lol

Federico Nieto, because my brother got him in a brand new top in 2005 and he played 3 games.

Not a player obviously but I think about Walter all the time.You always knew we'd find a way to win

Prodan, Sebo, Rozental. The constantly injured! I suppose Matondo and Cortes should be added

I think there was some floppy haired fanny defender we signed on loan in 2018. Said he couldnt handle the pressure. Glad we never seen him again. Can anyone remember his name?

Oleg Salenko.
Won the WC golden boot because he scored 5 goals in one game and then we signed him on loan.

u/steveuk99 3d ago
He wasn’t a loan. We bought him for £2.5m but sold him at the end of the season

Gabriel Amato. One of the most skillful players I've ever seen in person. Not the best striker ever - but an incredible pair of feet.

Negroni was on around 30’goals before Xmas one season, then got an eye injury from pergio sorini playing “squash” and everything fell apart, would have been an amazing season

Davie Cooper. Unbelievable player.
Common appearance when watching old Rangers compilations on Youtube when I get home from the pub blootered

u/ShugNew9070 3d ago
I had a video tape of him growing up when i was just old enough to start kick a ball properly and it was like a training video how to improve control and stuff. I think he died not long after filming it. Rip D.C 😎👍🔴⚪🔵

Aaron Niguez - once read a player review of one of his few appearances that described him as "happy feet" and thats just stuck in my brain

Scott Nisbet, and watching from behind him in the enclosure in 1993 as he launched his “shot” that turned into a crazy goal v Club Brugge.

u/ButtersScot Cyriel Dessers 2d ago
One of the few memories I have of my dad before he died was his reaction to this goal, sitting in his recliner with a beer and his legs jiggling while he laugh manically at what just happened

Jérémy Clément. Think he could have been a cracking player for us.

u/Sturgeon2008 2d ago
Yeah he came with the right reputation but anything associated with that PLG era was doomed to be short lived.

Aaron Niguez. I was fairly young when he signed for us and I remember being excited about him.
If only we'd signed his brother instead :(

u/maidenscotland1987 3d ago
Boumsong, bonnissel, vanoli and namouchi are a few of them, bonnissel probably the most random. Or filippo maniero and dan eggan.

We never signed him but Sidney Govou always being about sign was a massive meme on the 00s message boards.

He was world beating on Championship Manager so I bought him for my 13 in a row winning Rangers team.
