Could we revive King Alick's old song and change the words to King Billy?
Weee'll, drink a drink a drink
To Alick Billy the king the king the king
The saviour of, the Rovers football team
For he invented, attacking football,
(I forgot the last line, after all, I was only a babe in arms!)

Wasn’t it Gilly the pink back in the day BB?
I’m sure that I remember singing that.
-
Gilly as in Gilfillan? I'm not sure, mate. I only remember the Alick version.

Maybe Scawsby Steve could put some light on it but he was getting on a bit even back then, so perhaps not.
-
Yes Bob Gilfillan. Might have been more than the one version though. A shame that we didn’t kick on as we should have with that team. I never expected the decline to set in over the next few years. Frank Wilson would have been a far better option than Hubert Bates. The wrong one left.

Absolutely. I remember we dabbled in a couple of promotions into Division 3 (League 1) around that time but didn't invest enough in the team to sustain the progress.
It was scandalous considering the gates we were getting at that time.

You should be put on the "Scaffold" for comments like that.
