Title: Good Lads
Post by: RoversInSpain on December 24, 2024, 07:29:38 pm
My Son is in England from Australia for a wedding of his best pal ( Ollie to Rosie) who also live in Australia and have come over to get married, all are massive Rovers fans.

So my son today messaged some of the Rovers players past and present to send out a little good luck message….

Top marks to Molly and the quite fabulous Jimmy O’Conner ( what a player he was for us) who both sent video’s messages wishing the happy couple the best. However as Jimmy said, will the day be better than beating Leeds?
Fair point really.
I’d go with …. Nope!

On Christmas Eve , how bloody good is that to give some time…
Brilliant

Awesome, used to deliver to Jimmy O'connor in his time with us, top top guy, & as you say what a player, I swear there were times when he & Copps were telepathic. Congratulations to the couple to be.

You have to love Rovers and the players, past and present. There’s something special that we all share.

Copps has also replied with a message. Stunned by how they take the time out to do this.
Marvellous from a proper footy club

I also had a video message from Copps on my birthday, organised by a friend. Best birthday present I had that year.

That’s a wonderful thing for the ‘Rover’s Family of Players’ to do.

How on earth did he contact them all RoversInSpain? Individually, via the club, or some form of LinkedIn?

Via Instagram. Or Insta as the young ‘uns call it.

Just to close off …..
just to say to add to the players above, messages from Copps, Jay M, AfroGoalMachine, Greeny, Sam Hird, Ricky R, Greeny, Browny, Mr Stock, and finally JR (the real one not the Dallas one) were sent and made into a video, where all the Wedding guests were amazed at the many messages of best wishes
Nice one Rovers! It’s a family getting bigger.
