I could & have listened to that clip over & over.
There's so many funnies in it, it's gold.

It's brilliant because it's so genuine. So many people do stuff for social media fame this is just a bloke who's had a few who probably supports us part time

Fantastic!

Reminds me of the dark days the season before we went out the league.
We'd just been hammered again at home,and it was locals only in the back door of the Rock. When I got inside,the usual few were in there. I couldn't help but phone BBC radio Sheffield from the pay phone in the corridor. I had a bit of a rant about Richardson,saw Pubspotter from Thorne and a little punk from Bentley. I passed the phone over to them. Pubspotter began with a deep criticism of uncle Ken,then said"Anyway, I'm going to get f#cking bladdered with the dwarf!"
Click on the other end of the line,Radio Sheffield conversation over and me laughing my socks of in the Rockingham.

This is the Twitter link for Out Of Context Rovers (that I have nowt to do with) but it's bloody hilarious - give it a follow. A must for all Rovers fans with a sense of humour.

Radio Sheffield: Let’s have a chat with Paul. Hi Paul, praise or grumble?

RS: Hi Paul, are you there?
P: Yeah, I’m here, sorry, yeah. Erm yeah well, South Yorkshire football, isn’t, as you say, is in a right mess, in’t it? Errrrm, Rovers, well, I think, Rovers obviously got… well, I’ve not obviously been t’game. But, well they got a point in’t… that lad from Cambridge who signed from Cambridge scored a penalty din’t he I understand. Erm, hello are you still there?
RS: Yes, I’m listening.
P: Sorry. And I’d just like to… a praise right for Tony from, who goes to Terry Holian’s Gym in town, he’s gone, wit some of’t lads, and they’ve gone all’t way down to London. Y’know respect for em for doing that. I mean, I bet they were… [chuckling] well they scored anyway. They might have kicked off, well… I don’t know whether they’ve got any hooligans or not, anyway, so, sorry, you’re not supposed to speak about hooligans [mumbling]…
RS: Paul, I’ve gotta… where is this going?
P: My call? [chuckles] Well, erm, well Rovers need to get rid of the, erm, Chairman, what’s he called? Mmm. He’s a waste of space him.
RS: Right?

Yes that's him. He moved away with his girlfriend a few years ago.  Him and his mate Steve used to pick us up in Askern for some away games in a very old transit van.
Good days.

I somehow ended up on a coach to an away game in the 80's that they'd organised. Through a friend of a friend I think. You had to be able to put away a load of booze and also have your wits about you is all I can say!

It's a bit misleading,as he wasn't like the bloke from the Coach and Horses video. He just wasn't very tall. Built like a tank tho,also nicknamed weeball as he never went down.
Steve the driver got the nickname Steady Steve as he would not go over 56mph on motorways. He'd read it was the most economical speed to drive at. I swear we used to have funeral corteges overtake us on the way to away games.
HA,a bottle of thunderbird used to be compulsory on those coaches/minibuses!

We have had some characters following us over the years,and apart from the club that is one of the reasons Rovers are in my heart til I die.
Great days,great supporters!
