class of 76-77 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Terribly sad news, I remember an article in the Sunday Mail a few weeks ago where he was talking about the death of his young brother, and how he never managed to get over it. What a terrible tragedy for his loved ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffs Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Tragic news. I remember him more for his time at Dundee Utd. Played a big part in them reaching the UEFA cup final in 87. Great goal in the semi against Borussia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 That really is a shocker. I knew Colin Jackson quite well and I was at his testimonial dinner in The Albany. We were far too low in the pecking order to have a Rangers player at our table but after the dinner and just before the speeches Ian came and sat at our table because I think it was his agent who was beside us. He was a lovely unassuming guy and good company. Apparently he was from a fairly well-to- do family and it was always suggested that he was more or less a millionaire before he joined Rangers. I always thought that was a bit exaggerated but the rumours always persisted. Certainly his family was comfortably off. He was a fine player with a touch of class. Very sad to hear of his premature death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windae cleaner Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 A fine player when he moved to Dundee Utd. Sad indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sad and tragic news at such a young age. Was it him that tackled John Mcgregor when Mcgregor was on loan to us from Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepaisleypanda Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just checked - he played in the 1987 Cup Final! Is he the only one to have gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) That's terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. I think he was on "Off The Ball" just the other week talking about his autobiography as well. Yes, listened to him speaking on that between Christmas and New Year. Sounds like the book and the publicity surrounding it was an attempt to try and lay some demons to rest. Unfortunately seems to have had the opposite effect, and proved to be too much for him. Sad to hear. Here's an interview with him from last month: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2523554/IAN-REDFORD-The-death-younger-brother-left-angry-feeling-confused-Football-gave-escape.html Edited January 10, 2014 by Julian Banjos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
