One writer previously remarked that John Brown personifies what the outside world considers a stereotypical, West Coast Scottish person to look like. It's hard to argue with that assessment, because Brown's hard-nosed features made it look like he was chiseled from concrete. On the pitch, he was quite the defensive wall, rivals would almost have to floor him to get past. Due to his rough-and-tumble style of play, the defender struggled with injuries during his Rangers career. Thankfully, he was an important part of life at the club on the training pitch too. Former Rangers manager Walter Smith once said that even when Brown was injured and unable to play, he had a presence in the dressing room that greatly helped the team. Throughout his time at the club, John Brown begged Smith to play even when injured. The very definition of a warrior on the football pitch, he had a tough as leather boots kind of aura about him. Young players coming up through the ranks respected his kindness and nurturing nature, but also feared getting on the wrong side of him.
