Thanks for bringing back those memories, guys. Don't think his career merits Hall of Fame spot but a memorable Ranger.

Grant Sneddon

I think it's an inclusion that is up for debate and I can see both sides of the argument

Gary Brown

Thanks for this show guys, very interesting discussion about Fernando.

Ross Matheson

Yeah, he's a million miles away from a HoF entrant for me. His playing career with us was a very very mixed bag with one redemption in his part in Helicopter Sunday. I had very little time for him as a player and would have felt like a bit of a hypocrite pretending that wasn't the case when his diagnosis came through. I think there was a massive rewriting of his standing in the eyes of the support when it happened (in part due to what Sandy Jardine who was a playing legend had just gone through too) . HIs battle in later life showed a maturity and strength which was an insipration to everyone though.

Bob MacCallum

I agree with you, Ross. I always thought he was a plastic hardman like Black, Muscat etc. Nostalgia and his final tragedy has coloured the perception of him.
