John Greig by John Greig
Nicknamed 'the Ledge' on account of his legendary status, John Greig has been voted the greatest Ranger of all time by the fans and his statue stands outside lbrox. He is regarded as a truly inspirational captain whose achievements speak for themselves; numerous Scottish Championships and Cups, captain of the successful European Cup Winners' Cup side of 1972 and the only player to play in three Treble-winning sides. He also captained his country, winning 44 caps for Scotland. He went on to enjoy a turbulent time as manager of Rangers and he was never able to match the success he found as a player. The highs and lows of his career are told with great humour and insight as he relives classic moments on the pitch, and hllarious off-the-pitch antics with both club and country. John Greig also reveals how he very nearly never played football at all, having been left for dead as a teenager after a dramatic accident.
Edinburgh-born John Greig played a total of 877 games for Rangers - 755 competitive - between 1961 and 1978 and scored 120 goals. He won five league titles, six Scottish Cups, four League Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972. He also won 44 Scotland caps. He became manager of Rangers in 1978 and remained in that post until he resigned in October 1983. He later returned to Rangers to work in public relations. He was recently appointed to the Rangers Board.
