Does Tisso still go Rovers?
I saw him at Newport last night.
Micky Dzora was there as well. I keep bumping into him now and again at games.

Micky dzora was allways the last 'd' in the Doncaster and area phone book.

Said lad had a soft spot for both blackpool and Chelsea

Recall when he was stood o. Main stand terrace back in mid 1980s and someone whipped his addias tracky bottoms for his Union Jack boxer shorts to be revealed to all the terrace .
It was a better moment during a dull rovers game .

Micky said he was stopping over in Mertha Tydfil (however you spell it)
 and going to his first ever rugby match. He'd had a few before the game and seemed happy enough.

I once spent three days there. Not in a hurry to go back.

Mind you, I did some fantastic research in the local library.

Had the luxury of sharing a room with Micky after the newport game and a couple of the young lads who go away with England as well as Donny. Micky awoke us all at half 5 saturday morning telling us he'd pissed the bed, a bloke in his 50s ffs.

Palo still comes back now and again complete with tan and porn star tache
Premo not seen or heard anything of him for years- he moved over to the dark side chasing eggs last I heard. Could perhaps check bar at winning post

Palo still in Cambodia at the minute, goes over there in the winter for a few months. Still goes to the occasional game but is working a lot and trying to stay on the right side of the law. Handy bloke though.

If I remember wasn't he a ref on a Sunday morning too
Reffed a couple of games i played alongside smoke McKay,seen Monte skulking around town a few times recently

Monte as in monty ? If so I was on understanding that he moved out to Scunthorpe

Recall him on the train to the Chester play off game he had a large cocoa cola plastic fizzy pop thing
from macdonalds .he threw all the cola away and filled it with som'ert called 20/20 then necked it all before train stopped at Rotherham.



Monty has been serving at his majestys pleasure for a while, not at liberty to say what for though.

Few i'll add that i've near enough always seen.

Charlie from Thorne, Dodger, Mega, all the Jollies (Dominoes boys), pugsy, ginner, Barry Petch to name a few.

Remember some old bloke called Maurice from Hyde Park who I used to see quite a bit, went on Len's coach. Not seen him for a while though.

Hanksie,
Maurice and his wife along with the great now deceased Marjorie stood near me at BV. The story was that Maurice first visited BV when a Grimsby fan in the sixties. He met his future wife who was a Rovers fan at the match and the rest is history. I did see Maurice and wife in the West Stand for the first season at the KM but that was all.

I'm sure that Maurice went to one away game by car.
Les,Ginner and Graham were the other occupants I think.
Probably Stevenage thinking about it.

I can confirm Junior Jockey is still in attendance ( but not so junior anymore)  Spud  had a season ticket up till last year as well. Not seen Sos at rovers for years last time I saw him was driving his bakers van

A guy I always see at away games is the bloke with the long sideburns (down to bottom of his neck) glasses, he sometimes wears the double denim combination (jacket & jeans) and at London games he wears a 'Cole Not Dole' pin badge, I guess he was once a proud cole miner,  there's usually a few others with him.

Was Mick (King Farouk) the chap with fairground tattoos on his hands? Used to look a bit dodgy but was always a sound fella when I spoke to him. He used to stand in front of me on the Pop, smoking Mayfairs.

Aye, he used to be mates with my next-door neighbour. Once went on a belting pub crawl around the Isle of Axholme area on a minibus with them and a few others culminating in a lock-in at the sadly long gone Packet Inn at Misterton.

Surprised nobody's mentioned Shaun T yet. Then again he's probably spent 80% of the last 15 years on a ban!

Shaun's dad was sound apart from being a Forest fan ... but I think he got a lifetime ban. Shaun has a bit to live up to yet

Thought I let someone else bring big tets into the fray .one thing for sure is that you could never doubt his commitments to watching rovers . He was everywhere during the conference years when DRFC were at its lowest ebb .

I also remember a group of Skins that used to go to the Rovers in the late 80's/early 90's. They were in a band called Skin Deep and were pretty big on the Ska scene as I recall. I used to see them at most home games around the time of Bremmner's 2nd stint and they were always good for a laugh. I stopped seeing them at matches after 2-3 seasons though. Fast forward 10 years or so and I spot one of them playing guitar in Babyshambles with Pete Doherty.
