Rangers look for 47-year-old payback

Steve Bull for Stafford

I remember when the chant used to be "Steve Bull for England," but suppose that was a long time ago now. Another century, if you want to put it dramatically. Now the legend himself is in the running for the managers job at Stafford Rangers. Not exactly

UC Memories: 26 November 1957
