Note: 'William Alexander Woodburn (1919–2001) was a Scottish International footballer who represented Rangers at club level. He was the last footballer in Britain to receive a life ban from the game for indiscipline, although the ban was later rescinded and he has since been inducted into both the Scottish Football Hall of Fame and the Rangers Hall of Fame.'

He was with the Govan side from 1937 until 1954. It was after World War II that he established himself in the Rangers side and won four Scottish league championships and four Scottish Cups with the club as a member of its strong defensive unit known as the 'Iron Curtain'. He appeared in the first Scottish League Cup Final in April 1947, when Rangers beat Aberdeen 4–0 and won it a second time two years later.

This medal comes from the 1948 victory over Morton.
