Sharp
Wood
Tomlin
Lavery
Off the top of my head.

Yes, I think you need to define "of late" as there's probably alot who've had to pack in through injury etc.

I saw Habib Beye had been named the new Marseille manager today. He didn't play for anyone after leaving us.

Steve Brooker ? and that was some goal he scored ⚽️

Fingers crossed his attitude to attending training has firmed up a bit since then.

He’s manager of Maldon & Tiptree now, I saw an interview somewhere with the owner of the club, he was the first person in the UK to get a license to operate those premium number phone lines, 0898 etc . That’s as far as my personal knowledge goes which such things, apart I might have rung the Rovers one occasionally

Did he? Didn’t know that.

Pat Lally played his last season in the FL with Rovers in 1982 and had a couple of years as a non league player with Burton Albion after that.
I assume he wasn’t a full time pro in his last couple of seasons with Burton.
