Glasgow memories: Short and sweet Rangers signing was dream come true for Bobby

Bobby Cunning (left) bidding farewell to Jackie Cox, Hamilton manager, before signing for Rangers. EVER since he could kick a ball, Bobby Cunning had wanted to play for Rangers. So Scot Symon made the young Hamilton Academicals striker a very happy man when he signed him for the ibrox club in September 1954. Bobby’s grandson Jamie got in touch to tell us: “Scot Symon became the manager of Rangers FC in 1954 and his first signing was my grandpa. It took place in the Central Hotel and the fee was £2500.” Bobby’s debut was in a Glasgow Cup replay against Clyde on September 10, just a few days after his momentous signing. Our sister newspaper noted that he and fellow newcomers (McKenzie and Menzies) “passed their test with honours.”

Chapper-uppers and the old Glasgow leeries - memories of city s long lost jobs

WHO remembers the chapper-uppers? Before alarm clocks were a thing, you could earn a bit of a cash going round workers’ houses and tapping on their windows to wake them up for the early shift. The Blantyre Project, a website dedicated to the history of the South Lanarkshire mining village, reckons these men, usually employed by the colliery to ensure its staff did not sleep in, could earn up to 6d. The late Blantyre historian James Cornfield even wrote a poem about them, called The Rapper-Up Man. “In days gone by in the miners rows, there lived a man who always rose/At an early hour from slumber deep to waken miners from their sleep/By rapping on the window pane, no matter the weather wind or rain/Be it Wullie, Mick or Dan, he was always known as the Rapper-Up Man….”
