I'd have sworn I saw him play against Hull City. I've got a really strong memory that it was floodlit, that he came on as a sub, and we lost. So maybe it was the Port Vale or Newport County match? Newport would make sense as their kit is similar to Hull's

Wasn’t that the next season when we beat Bournemouth to clinch promotion..
The one I remember most is Wimbledon at Plough Lane. I took the wife and kids to London for the weekend. On the wat to the match we got caught up in all the boat race traffic that was on the same day. I think Rovers had a player sent off and for the life of me I can't remember who it was. Does anyone know who it was?

I was also there (my first visit to Plough Lane) and although I remember we lost and that Billy played I have no memory of the sending off.I remember going there the following season (they went up with us) and we won 1-0.
Two of us thought it would be a great idea to hitch hike to Swansea for a night match (regular occurrence in those days). As you can imagine, after the match the idea of hitch hiking home wasn't so appealing so we waited by the team coach and I told Billy of our predicament. He gave us a good bollocking, told us to get on the coach, behave and he didn't want to know we were there. Had quite a lot of piss take from the players but we were home in time for work the following morning. Cheers for that Billy. He also sent a Scotland international cap to be placed on the coffin of a friend (Johnny Andrews) who tragically died in an accident during his spell as manager.
