And Smith Did Score!
Scottish edition of the Metro had an article on Gary Stevens supporting Smith's appointment, having "played with him at Brighton" ... and then published a picture of the ex-Rangers and Everton Mr Stevens!! Doh!

It's just a shame he's got some bloody daft ideas he wants to introduce (eg two-month winter break, with football through the summer).

Was Gordy top scorer for Man City one season after he left us ?

The most curious thing..
Smith immediately got his introduction to the contentious politics of Scottish football when he was asked about the perception that he did not believe that Rangers should have been fined by Uefa because their fans sang sectarian songs during a Uefa Cup tie against Osasuna in Pamplona.
"There have been a lot of things said about my attitude but I stood up at a Rangers Trust meeting and said they were right to ban the two sectarian songs in question - but I did say we have to be careful about what we define as offensive," said Smith.
"If we start arresting everybody who might be considered offensive we would have half our crowds in jail. I thought Uefa were right to punish Rangers and I made that clear, but certain people don't seem to think that I did.
"I am not a bigot in any respect. All my family and friends - that includes the Celtic-supporting friends - know that. People talk about me having Rangers' interests at heart. I have Scottish football's interests at heart. I was four years at Brighton and three years at Rangers, but do people think I'm here to represent Brighton?"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/06/02/sfnrod02.xml
Now we have got a ringer in place can we apply to join the Scottish Premier League? We might even win it given the overall standard of Scottish football

I may be losing it but I definitely didn't think that Smith was here for anywhere near 4 years

John Greig, tricked him into going to Brighton to sign for the unfashionable English side when he had no intention of leaving Ibrox.
I'd argue that, at the time we were quite fashionable in a small town team kind of way and we certainly paid wages and transfer fees of middling BIG boys
