When we did have it, our passing wasn't good enough and our decision making in the final third wasn't up the standard that it needed to be to win the Cup.” James Sands takes 'incredible' Rangers mentality to New York with Champions League nightmare hailed as positive Phillip balanced the midfield incredibly well, could score goals and was very vocal on the pitch. I played alongside him for many years at PSV and in the Dutch national team, and we enjoyed some superb link-up play. When I made forward runs, he covered in defence.” Right-midfield: Gerald Vanenberg Arthur Newman" is the new name taken by down-in-the-dumps guy Wallace Avery, who was divorced, estranged from his son and trapped in a dead-end job.

I always liked him as a player, one of my favourite players in England because he was like a leader on and off the park, always gave 110% for the jersey and I think he was the perfect captain for the team, in the dressing room. He’s got that winner’s mentality - there was such a big gap between Celtic and Rangers and since he took over you saw that closing. He looked like his old self, showing excellent close control and dribbling past opposition players. That season, I captained the side and played in all 46 league and cup games,” John recalled. “They played me at right-half and it suited me. I got off to a flyer. The team was still finding it hard work to stay in the division, but things went well and I enjoyed that season very much. I was more nervous in the stands, it was really strange.

I was on the beach, reading a magazine and Romario said in an interview: ‘PSV would be great if we can get Arthur Numan’. I thought how does he know me?!
