EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Kenny Perez is captured in the midst of scoring the winning goal for Rangers Football Club in the 2003 Scottish Cup Final, during a tribute match in honor of Fernando Ricksen. The image, taken by acclaimed photographer Kirk O'Rourke, encapsulates the emotion and significance of the moment as the team paid tribute to their former teammate and friend. Fernando Ricksen, a Dutch international and Rangers legend, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2013, leaving the football community devastated. In response, the Scottish football world came together to raise funds and awareness for the disease, organizing a charity match at Ibrox Stadium. The atmosphere was electric as the teams took to the field, with both sets of players wearing special shirts emblazoned with Ricksen's name and number. The crowd, numbering in the tens of thousands, roared their support for the cause, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. As the game progressed, the tension grew, with both teams giving their all in a bid to secure victory. In the final moments of the match, Kenny Perez stepped up to the plate, scoring the decisive goal that secured the win for Rangers. The crowd erupted in jubilation, the relief and joy palpable as they celebrated not just a victory, but a tribute to a true footballing legend. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the unifying power of football and the strength of the human spirit, as the football community came together to honor Fernando Ricksen and raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease. The image of Kenny Perez scoring the winning goal is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the game and the enduring legacy of a true Rangers legend.
