Does anyone know the name of the guy who goes to games now, must be about 60/70, he has slick black hair - kind of molded on his head with brylcreem (set fast) - in a John Travolta grease lightning type of way, constantly has his tan on max, and wears a kind of a sheep-skin coat and is generally dressed like somekind of 1950s teddy?



I know exactly who you mean. Looks like some kind of Italian gangster. Don't know who he is though.

Does any body remember the Flicker Brothers who stood in the middle of popside OBV? Two middle aged guys who ate toffees throughout the game and delighted in rolling up their wrappers and flicking them at random people in the crowd and the act all nonchalent as the 'victim' looked around for a perpetrator. Ive seen the one with the parrot nose at the Keepmoat but alas not his partner in crime.

Remember Captain Pocket from the 60s pop side at Belle Vue.
He always wore the same Mac and flat cap and had one hand permanently in his pocket.
He had a lazy eye as well.

I remember  a chap who used to stand between the tunnels in the main stand who used to keep saying.come on Rovers lads one goal 2 points.  The 2 points tells you how long back it was 😊

Seen him reasonably recently. Either earlier this season or maybe last.

Obviously he was in same get up.

The latest terrace fashion disaster is not the double denim mustache combo, its the re-emergence of the trench coat.

In the disastrous 1966/67 season there was a lad called Mick; long blond hair and came from Conisborough.
I think that he got to every game that season on the Yorkshire Traction bus.
He used to buy a supporter's club badge at every ground, his Rovers scarf ended up covered in them.
I don't think that I ever saw him again after that season.

Another face from past is Richard Haley, bloke who was prominent during Richardson period. Think he had a post office and last I heard of him he was standing for Tories in council elections. Don't think I have seen him at Rovers in well over ten years.

Ha. Probably explains why then.

Genuine question. Why does anyone go in Easts Stand if they don't have kids or in posh seats? Always seems dead and they get sun in their eyes.

The sun isn't such a big issue. It does happen, but only on a couple of occasions each season. And that's usually at the start or end of each season as the sun sits higher in the sky. Its usually too bloody cloudy to be an issue anyway!
