Title: Game v Pegasus
Post by: Highland Rover on December 18, 2018, 07:14:06 pm
 A while ago  , a mention was made of a game against the amateur side Pegasus and I've just come across a record  in a club handbook .
The game was on 27th August 1966 and Rovers won 12-1 with Geoff Long scoring 4

Must get a life !!!

I'm still trying to get a programme from that game. If anyone happens to have one, I'd be very very interested.

I am led to believe there isn’t one, unless you have ever seen it?

Nope but I'll keep searching until someone categorically tells me otherwise Gav

Thought that date we beat  Torquay United 2-1 (League .. Division Three).. According to this site

https://www.11v11.com/teams/doncaster-rovers/tab/matches/season/1967/

Me just thinking Highland Rover, I also need to get out more ..

But maybe this site as it wrong .. Dunno

 Both games recorded for the same day , Pegasus Game was played away , looks like it was a youth team maybe , included a teenage Alan Warboys and others from the North Regional League team along with first teamer Keith Lindsey

Yes it was I who asked the question as I had also seen the score and the date (but couldn't remember where). Glad I was right beginning to think I had dreamed it. I think Dutch and the RB also were looking into it but nothing materialised.  Same reason, was looking at obtaining the programme. Doubt whether any of us will ever see one.
