Rangers’ last Dutch striker was one of the best I ever played with.
And if Sam Lammers is HALF the player Michael Mols was then Michael Beale will have struck gold. After Lammers was unveiled as the club’s latest signing last week, it got me thinking about my old strike partner. As a footballer, Michael was simply out of this world. I wasn’t at the club when he signed. But in my first season he came back from injury and we played up front together a lot. I had already watched him as a Rangers fan.
His level of play before that fateful night against Bayern Munich, when he damaged his knee, was incredible. Who can forget that turn? Wow. The Mols Turn. I’d never seen anything like it before. It was electric. I had seen it on TV then, a year later, I was actually working with him. So I decided I wanted that turn in MY game.
