John Spencer

[Bigdave]

Was cool as f&ck, used to bowl around the pitch like he owned it.

I was at Reading away for his debut and he scored at our end to put us 1 up. Cue pandemonium in the away end. Typical Rangers we went and lost 2-1.

Pretty sure it was same day Frankie Dettori got all 7 winners at Ascot.

Yes ginge played up top. My memory was he was always a nuisance for the opposition defence

Ah fair enough. Always thought he was a good player.

I was slaughtered that day and fell
asleep standing up in that shitty away end.

I always thought he was an attacking mid? Was he a striker?

So did I when he signed on loan, but within weeks realised he was definitely a striker, I felt he was going to score in every game he started 96/97, dunno what happened to him the following season though, short lived but my favourite striker between Ferdinand and Austin era's, sorry Kev and Furs.

I liked him but associate him and Sheron with the beginning of the bad times.

[lymehoop]

didn't he bring his son to an away game after he left us and was shocked at the stick he was getting?

[Hubble]

Always had a soft spot for Johnny Spencer, he was one of our better strikers in those days. Maybe the best. Remember a game where I was sitting right at the front of Ellerslie and John was loitering on the right wing, looking half-hearted. I shouted something encouraging at him like 'go on John, score us a goal mate, you can do it!' and he suddenly ran into the area, got on the end of a cross and scored. True story.

[stanistheman]

What were your thoughts on him. I always thought he was a decent striker for us until he got chopsey

I thought he was excellent, especially when playing alongside Dichio as opposed to Hateley and then Sheron.

My old man scored a hundred on the Mensa whoooo Johnny spencer

Remember me and a mate having a chat with him while he was stuck in traffic outside the Raven. He was'nt short of confidence " I'm your man I will get you up" . But like a gorgeous Dutch bird I met on hols it mirrored a perfect passionate affair that went #### up when the honeymoon period was over...
