An insight into Rangers' second top goalscorer, after Ally McCoist charting his career from that glorious day at Hampden in 1970 to the present as a broadcaster on radio and television. Derek Johnstone leapt straight into football's history books at the tender age of 16 when he was the youngest player ever to score a winning goal in a national final. That was at Hampden, October 24, 1970, the League Cup, which Rangers won against Celtic was the prize. The 1970s was Derek's golden era. He won a European medal in 1972 in Barcelona, the treble in 1976 and was Rangers top goalscorer. He won another treble in 1978. All of these achievements made him a Rangers legend.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
