Title: invitation post your favourite Rovers’ photo
Post by: graingrover on October 27, 2024, 02:01:11 pm
I choose this photo of my boyhood hero Harry Gregg .Not only does it open the floodgates of Rovers’ memories from my childhood but it captures the athleticism of Gregg perfectly .He also was brave physically and his courage took him back into the burning wreck of the crashed United plane on the runway at Munich to save the lives of a woman and her child .Harry Gregg ! By the way his transfer fee from Rovers to ManU was £ 20,000 and that represented a world record fee for a keeper at the time .

Great idea.
I’ll join in with Big Brendan O Callaghan  second goal at Liverpool 73/74 in the cup

Not sure how to put a photograph onto this forum but it’s the one of Copps tap in at Brentford. An unbelievable day that I will always remember for so many reasons.

I always liked the photo of "Sarge" (Mark Albrighton) hand on throat of Joey Barton when he was such an idiot in the "friendly" against Man City. A hard but fair player was Sarge.

There's a few variants, but this one is decent

Attached some others showing various degrees of Barton "recognising his predicament", AKA crapping himself.
