Title: Rovers goalscorer quiz
Post by: VivaRovers on May 23, 2024, 07:23:20 pm
Something to help you kill a bit of time / remind you of players you'd forgotten about.

180 different players have scored league goals for Rovers since our return to the Football League in 2003.

How many can you name? (https://www.sporcle.com/games/popularSTANDzine/doncaster-rovers-goalscorers-since-2003)

Highest one I didn't get was Andy Williams.

Possibly THE most forgettable regular goalscorer in our history.

Name of that striker that we hated back in day that I think we ended up buying. Never liked the bloke - didn’t he put two fingers up at us ? Old memory playing tricks.

Also, The Sarge - scored 4, scarred countless. Loved that fella, as did Barton.

Alfie May and Billy Sharp have I think. Andy Williams maybe? Can't remember Marquis ever getting one against us, always seems to have a stinker.

Marquis definitely scored against us for Pompey during lockdown.

There are quite a few others... Chris Brown scored against us for Preston, Theo Robinson for Derby, Danny Andrew for Fleetwood, Kieran Agard for Bristol City, JET (x2) for Bristol City in the cup, Macheda for Birmingham, Jason Price (hat-trick) against us for Hull, Matt Mills for Reading, Mark Duffy for Scunthorpe, Jonson Clarke-Harris for Bristol Rovers, Tyler Smith for Bradford.

And...believe it or not... Joe Dodoo for Bolton.

There may be more, but those were the ones that I found.

Great quiz as well.

Did anyone get Steve Brooker?

Scored against us for Bristol City then only scored 2 for us. Terrible signing.

That's a good one. Great player in his Port Vale and Bristol City days. Sadly blighted by far too many injuries by the time he got to us.

One of them was worth the wait though!

He's the joint winner of the 'Jon Taylor award for permanent injury whilst at Donny Rovers' with Gordon Greer. We basically didn't sign them, we bought them really expensive season tickets.

Marquis scored a 90th minute goal for Portsmouth in a 2-1 defeat for Portsmouth at the Keepmoat on 2 March 2021. Reece James and Fejiri scored for us.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Adebayo Akinfenwa. He was always a thorn in our side after leaving us.
