Best manager in my lifetime , legend should never be used lightly but he was most definitely a legend , I can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve been hit hard by grief and his passing is on that hand , rest easy gaffer ,,,, what a statue very well done to Douglas he’s done an amazing job ♥️🤍💙
And respect to you too for that lovely comment! I can't remember Tommy Burns that much, but my grandmother supports Celtic, and we were chatting about them once, and she said Tommy and Walter were both cut from the same cloth. Absolute gentlemen, and great friends off the pitch, and nothing but respect for each other! 💙💚
Touch of class from you christine....cancer also took a hero from your own club in tommy burns. I lost ma dad last year to cancer.....I'm rangers daft but just wanted to comment due to your touch of class comment.
@@EmmaAries-so8px I'm 43 and Tommy was my hero ,fellow ginger lol ,but was exactly same as Walter way they both loved there clubs,yes be 90 mins of rivalry HUGE .....but Walter got Scotland job and instantly him and Coisty were his coaches. ....they guys rangers to the core but carried Tommy into chapel ......idiots of this generation fr both fans need to realise this ....all the best
@@christinewilson2348 Totally agree!! Dont get me wrong i'm all about the banter, but not about the hatred! Some things you read from both sets of fans is shocking, but that's on them! Game of football after all. All the best to you too, and here's to the new season, but of course i have to say mon the gers!! 🤣💙💚
Hated him as a manager in his heyday, but as a rival, you have to tip your cap and admit, he was a great man\manager\ father and human !!! RIP Walter Smith !!
A great man. A great manager & Football man. A great father & Grandfather. And above all else, a great human being. Rest in peace (should have been) Sir Walter.
We all loved Walter every time I watch things like this it brings tears to my eyes for all the joy he brought to us,he’s a one off a real true gentleman and when I visit Ibrox I will see his statue and it will bring a tear in my eye once again for all the memories he brought to us .RIP 💙🤍❤️🙏
I remember when it was announced that Souness was taking charge at Rangers. I thought, what a superb move. Little did i know that the guy he brought with him was an absolute master stroke. Kudos to Souness!
Walter has a place at Ibrox to stand tall so the next generations can look at his figure and thank him , he is like a father and a true Rangers legend, 🔴⚪️🔵,
The day after the defeat to Hapoel Tel Aviv I was airside in Ben Gurion Airport waiting for my flight back to Heathrow when I noticed the team was also there. I went up to Sir Walter and politely moaned about the poor performance, he looked me straight in the eye and agreed that it wasn’t good enough and followed that up by even saying sorry to me. It just proved all the more how he genuinely cared about the supporters, he just oozed class, a true gentleman and a true legend.
If Rangers need any motivation today each and every player take a long hard look at this man greatest manger in the modern time and today lads keep believing !!!
Grew up in the 90s, glad to say I was alive to experience this Legends reign as Manager. This is a hard tribute to watch knowing how things are these days for Rangers and the future.
I still can't accept that he is gone. I've not been back since he left the club. The standards haven't been the same since. My words for him: Iconic, legendary, the GOAT, a winner. What else can you say? The statue is amazing, I hope everyone loves it and understands the magnitude of Rangers. Rest easy Gaffer. We can never say enough to thank you for what you did.
I was just hitting my 20s when Walter took over from Souness and coming into my 30s when we did 9 in a row, what a decade that was, it was truly amazing. Thanks for all those great great memories Walter Smith, what a man!! Watp Rtid 🇬🇧
This is how you conduct yourself if you have the privilege to wear the badge of the team I love. I’m sorry the players failed this season thank you Sir Walter 🔴⚪️🔵💙😭
Walter Smith gave me the best memories of rangers that will always live with me .There will never be another rangers manager like him .A true legend..Great tribute that should be shown to every player that signs
Well that brought a tear to my eye 90 minutes before kick off. Hopefully 90 minutes after it the players will have honoured his memory, cmon the rangers give it to them for Walter🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Growing up watching this man manage rangers was a absolute honour , moan the gers get this watched know what it’s like to be a rangers player and go out there today and show them why we are rangers rtid , rip walter smith will never be forgotten ❤
An amazing man , an amazing manager for our great club, walter was a large part of my childhood and i want to say , thank you for the memories walter smith R.I.P , WATP
O.M.G Amaruso McCulloch Laudrup Albertz Gough and Gascoigne how we could do with them today. Walter Smith OBE you were the greatest rest in peace sir 🏴🇬🇧 W.A.T.P 💪🏆
@@blairmeikle5192 what a ridiculous comment.....I'm Celtic to the core ...the guy above only means show the players what it means. ....watty n Coisty carried TB coffin ...and TB would have installed what Celtic meant like they did
@@christinewilson2348 regardless you cannot deny the favouritism in this league over the years for Celtic It’s a disgrace. But yous think getting one stone wall penalty against yous is horrendous 😂😂😂
I can’t stand this club. Never have never will in a sporting sense, but I will say this I’m happy to take off the green & white specs for this man! Totally wonderful man. Not just for Rangers but for Scotland. What he did for club and country can’t be ignored. R.I.P Walter.
Served walter gough and mcoist lunch on a few occasions even once handing him a bill for 18.88 even he seen the funny side such a gentleman rip gaffer ❤
I can understand why all the rangers fans miss him, he reminds them of a time long long ago when they used to win trophies. Yes they had to cheat to win them but who cares about little matters like that.😂😂😂
Celtic fan here, just in to say the man was class. End of story
When I think of Walter that interview with Chick Young always comes to mind
Gone but he will never be forgotten
