I will start it off by saying Bradford Park Avenue (it was the shirt that gave it away)
I was there that day and I believe extended highlights were on YTV
1965/6 ?
-
It was Bradford park avenue, but the year is wrong!

Fantastic Picture Bentley!
Name the ground: Park Avenue
Name the Rover's striker: John \"Pancho\" Regan
name the former Rovers player: Phil Robinson
Name the year: December 21, 1968.
We lost 2-1 in front of the YTV camera. Webber scored our goal in front of 3,911 fans!
We did not taste defeat again until April 14, 1969. We lost 1-0 at Brentford that night, ending the 20 game unbeaten run that gave us the D4 Championship!
Happy, carefree days!
Great memory about Gilfillan at Lincoln, Donnywolf. I was there too!
More pics like this please!

1968-9
John Regan
Norman Sykes?
Edit: Echo Alonzo and everyone else's comments - great picture and great memories

Well done Alonzo! You know more than me!! I've got quite a few photo's given to me around that era by my uncle who worked at the Doncaster Evening Post. One photo I was given was used for a 'spot the ball' competition, but my dad refused to enter that week because he said it would be cheating, and my Uncle might get the sack.....Straight as a die he was, like most people in those days!
I'll dig some more out and post them.

Well done Alonzo
In my defence Norman Sykes did go to Bradford and I was looking at that gangly number 5 :laugh:
-
I remember it well, somebody ran into the back of our car just outside Wakefield (no m62 then) so we got a lift off some other rovers fans.
I was also at Griffin Park to see that 1-0 defeat.
Good old British Rail in those days.

I've just found this. It's Alick just before he broke his leg in 1956. Can anyone identify the ground? (http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/King_Alick.jpg)

...AND yes it was on TV as I say and if I remember correctly they tried Danny Blanchflower (ex Spurs player for those under 50) as commentator and he littered his commentary in that game and most others with CHANCE theres a CHANCE its a CHANCE
I would like to see and listen to Bradford highlights to see how many times he actually said it
...and again for the nippers I believe it probably say Yorkshire or Bradford CC on the stand it being a home venue of the MIGHTY Yorkshire CCC as was Bramall Lane
-
Ey, Danny Blanchflower was pretty poor at commentating wasn't he!
As for the Alick Photo, Alonso, I'm stuck as to what ground it was taken on....Give us a clue!!!
Here's some more pics from the same game at BPA meanwhile. (http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Daves_Samsung_camera_photos_248.jpg)
