EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the sea of red and white at Ibrox Stadium pays tribute to Fernando Ricksen, the beloved Dutch footballer who spent five memorable years at Rangers Football Club. The image captures the essence of a poignant moment during the Tribute Match held on October 25, 2014, in honor of Ricksen, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2013. The stadium, adorned with the colors of Rangers, is filled to capacity with passionate fans, their faces a mix of sadness and determination. The Scottish Cup trophies from 2003, symbolizing the team's triumphs during Ricksen's tenure, stand proudly on the pitch, a testament to the team's history and the indomitable spirit of its supporters. The atmosphere is electric as the fans, united in their love for Ricksen and the team, raise their voices in a heartfelt rendition of the Rangers anthem, "A Song Sung Safer." The event, organized to raise funds and awareness for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation, which supports research into MND and provides assistance to those affected by the disease, is a poignant reminder of the power of community and the enduring bond between a team and its fans. The photograph encapsulates the raw emotions of the day, as the sea of red and white comes together to honor a hero, show solidarity with those affected by MND, and celebrate the indomitable spirit of Rangers Football Club. The image is a testament to the enduring power of football to bring people together and inspire hope in the face of adversity. Taken by renowned Scottish football photographer Kirk O'Rourke, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between fans and their team, and the transformative power of sport to bring people together in times of need.
