It is a bitter sweet memory, Rovers were 2-0 nil down with about 10 minutes to go, so my brother and I decided to leave early. After we left, Keith was brought off the bench to play as striker, a surprise request for a full back. It did the trick however- Rovers won 3-2 with Ripley scoring all three!........and we missed it all.....
