I honestly believe if he never got injured he would have went on to become a true great on a international level a truly exceptional striker that i am glad i had the opportunity to see
Marco Negri scored an incredible 36 goals in the first half of the season before he got injured. Just imagine how many he would of scored if he hadn't got injured and played the full season!!! Remarkable achievement, only Kris Boyd playing half the season for Kilmarnock and the 2nd half of the season for RANGERS and ended up finishing the top goalscorer for both football clubs even though he only played half as many games for both teams as the rest of the players on both teams and still scored more for each team than the rest of the both teams players. Absolutely Remarkable achievement considering one of those teams were RANGERS who had GREAT PLAYERS IN THEIR TEAM THAT COULD SCORE FOR FUN AND MAKES MARCO NEGRIS ACHIEVEMENT ALL THE MORE EXEMPTIONAL!!! What a goalscorer and what a player!!!! And I honestly can't understand why he doesn't get the recognition he deserves!!!
The most naturally gifted striker we ever had, and no Rangers supporter would say that lightly. I think I watched 30 of his goals live that season and every time he got the ball, it was a guaranteed goal. I never knew what happened to him with his eye injury playing Porrini at squash meaning we lost him for a few months. Imagine how many he would have scored if he’d remained fit! Well over 50 I’m sure.
If only Marco Negri had avoided that injury, in a couple of years he could have formed a partnership with Michael Mols. Now that would have been something to see!
Most lethal striker I’ve probably ever seen! Could score with every part of his body, anytime he turned a defender you just knew he would score! Deadly!
Thanks for the Vid & the memories , Marco had it all , he was playing on a different level , from the sublime to the tap ins . Rue the day he got that daft injury lads , something special indeed RTID 🔴⚪️🔵 WATP
@@garycowie8648 got mental images of gazza on a squash court cooped in wi a daft wee 🎾 in his hand . I'd heard it was another footy player , Italian though , canny mind his name mind you bud
A lethal striker with ice in his veins. Mental goals to games ratio and if he didn’t get that injury I think he would have went on to break the total number of goals in a season record. 🇬🇧
So coulda been "oor" Larsson but disappeared as quickly as he appeared but oh what a season what a player take a bow Sir Marco Negri n thanks for the memories 🏴🇬🇧⚽WATP⚽🇬🇧🏴
Just a class act! Signed for Rangers from a smaller club in Serie A and when Italian football was at its pomp in the 90's That year he was one of top 3 strikers in Serie A Fantastic talent and quite the assassin in front of goal! Marco Negri would've been up.there with McCoist as the most successful striker we had Something special he was at a time when Rangers were able to bring top players! Money has ruined football now! Always will love Marco Negri ❤️🤍💙 He should've made it bigger than he did
From an Italian Football magazine, an interview with Marco Negri, about Rangers, and life in Scotland. LB- Luigi Bruno (Interviewer) MN- Marco Negri LB- Marco, you left Rangers under very strange circumstances, why was that? MN- Strange? There was nothing strange in anything that happened there, they simply did not want me there any longer. LB- Why was that? MN- The honest answer is that I didn't know then and I still don't know even today. Nobody ever explained why I had fallen out of favour. LB- Your goal record at Rangers was fantastic and when fit and available you were scoring for fun. I, and many others still do not understand why you left under a cloud. MN- Let's just say you are getting very close to why I think that I was frozen out. Scotland is a very claustrophobic place where everything is examined and analyzed endlessly. Scottish society is in many ways a backward place. LB- What do you mean by that? MN- The culture, the underlying culture of Rangers was not good. The first team players had a habit of drinking vast amounts of alcohol during the week. As you know here in Italy we have a different culture as professional footballers. We know that it is our duty to keep ourselves fit and healthy. Some of the players there like Paul Gascoigne and Andy Goram would turn up smelling of drink BEFORE training. I could not understand why such behaviour was tolerated by Walter Smith who was manager then". LB- Marco we are well aware of Paul Gascoigne's problems and it is sad to see his decline, we saw it earlier at Lazio. Are you saying that the players were out of control? MN- Absolutely, I tried to point this out to Walter Smith several times but he became very defensive and said that I needed to understand Scottish footballing culture. He would hear no criticism of Goram and especially Gascoigne who could literally do anything he wanted to and still get away with it! It wasn't just their drinking however, they had some really extreme political and religious views. LB- Could you elaborate on this please? MN- Of course. They hated Catholics. All of them. I never understood why they were so filled with hatred. Several of us who were Catholic players and all foreigners were told upon arrival, never to bless ourselves at Ibrox as it could cause problems for us. I began to understand that Rangers was an extreme club very similar to Lazio here in Italy. You know, a right wing club with right wing supporters. I personally am not a practicing Catholic but my wife Anna Maria is, and it used to cause me pain when I heard what they said about my fellow Catholics. Lorenzo Amoruso and Jorg Albertz, just kept quiet and kept their heads down. LB- What finally brought things to a head? MN- I was rapidly disillusioned by Rangers and especially their supporters. As part of my professional duties I was strongly encouraged to attend social functions which meant going to several Rangers supporters clubs. The last one I attended really brought home to me the fact that I had nothing in common with these people. The anti-Catholic feeling was venomous and the songs they sang that evening filled me with disgust. It was at that point I decided not to give my all for a club that condoned such behaviour. I went sick. Walter Smith knew the real reason for my 'illness' and he just ignored it. But I wasn't lying, I was sick, sick of Rangers and sick of what they stood for and that is the truth. Quote
Thanks for posting. Was he wrong? Sectarianism is a cancer which damages society and ultimately Scotland. It's a classic case of divide and conquer and people are too busy revelling in hatred towards each other to notice.
This boy knew how to keep himself inside. Anticipate anything in and around the box and finish from any angle. Let’s face it. We have not had anything since. Mols maybe. Ideally we need another one of these this season.
A taxi driver years ago told me what supposedly happened to Negri was he had pumped Porrinis wife. Porrini punched him and damaged his eye and his team mates bombed him out for a long time. I don't know if it was true but this what I heard. He was some player. Apparently the squash ball story was a cover up.
Negri came to Rangers off the back of a 15 goal Serie A campaign for a team fighting relegation, guys like Ronaldo, Van Basten and Vieri were hitting maybe 25 for top teams in that league so Negri was doing quite alright before his move to Scotland

Could've been one of the best strikers ever. What a talented player he was. So sad it ended so badly.
Cold-blooded assassin🔴⚪🔵

Used to love signing this guy on champ manager
Wat a striker
Guy was red hot , just looks like a top striker calm and assured
What a goalscorer negri was everytime he had ball it was goal player
He was the complete striker. His penalty kicks did look pretty suspect tho 😂
So coulda been "oor" Larsson but disappeared as quickly as he appeared but oh what a season what a player take a bow Sir Marco Negri n thanks for the memories

Same with Legend Michael Mols
We are the people
that goal @ 2:00 was just fucking insane
Le Tissier esque.
A couple of random names came to my mind the other day...Paul Rideout and Mark Falco...both good strikers back in the day💙
Frightening what he'd cost in today's money.....Cost us £4m back then.
