[not on facebook]

ian snodin to everton ....Cant make me mind up on This one as from what i know hvis not at legend status within the everton fans?

Harry Gregg?

Matt mills ....i doubt it

Brian deane ....played for England and sheff utd fans think Of him as Their own product so must be a Yes.

Steven gaughen ....last seen as a Landscape gardener in doncaster ....so a Yes going on title of Thread.

Ruffus brevet....need Help on This one

Mark rankine ....went to wolves but i dont think he Made a Steve bull name for him sen there

Paul green....for sure all rovers fans would have had him back but are Derby fans missing him?

Maybe Peter kitchen at orient?

Ian miller aka Windy miller at Blackburn got to be a no

Warrington at motherham  united did him sen proud

Glyn snodin at dirty Leeds Leeds Leeds got to be a no

Wellens ....Well he is back at donny so you Cant say that he has moved on ip the ladder no matter how great he is for rovers.

Iam finding it hard to name a player that left rovers and hitting the heights afterwards.

Doubt mcindoe did as he went to Barnsley,wolves,Bristol city last seen at coventry more clubs Than tiger woods

What about Brendan ocallagan at Stoke city book still open due to lack Of info

If iam not mistaken lesson number one Stay at doncaster

Look at billy sharp he has had more loan dealings Than what yorkshire bank give out

[Malc Morling]

 ;)Just b 4 my time but Harry Gregg must b a yes Man u trying 2 think who went with him thinking it was Faulkner center half both did well 4 utd so the elder lads used 2 tell me

[DonnyNoel]

Darren Moore - decent lower premiership player/career.

[idler]

Ian Snodin is a legend with Everton fans. He sweat blood for them and they also realise how good he was before the back injury that effectively stopped him going to the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
Brendan O' Callaghan is also well thought of in Stoke and used to commentate on their games on local radio.

That what was my stumbling block with the everton issue with snodin his Injury,Thanks for putting us right on that aspect.

and big Brendan gets a YES at stoke

Think some of those were a bit harsh, specifically:

Rufus Brevett - Left us in what's now League 2 for a career in and out of the top division. Can't really argue with him having more success!

Paul Green - now a full international and Championship regular starter

Mills/Wellens - both have had several seasons at top end Championship sides (admittedly Mills not so much with Bolton's start this year!), in and around the play-offs so you'd have to say that's a step up

The rest aren't really in my lifetime so can't comment.

There is a big difference in ' step up and pulling up trees'

[builder jon]

Tony Coleman (man city) 

[Drover]

Which ones are the most surprising to you?Always remember thinking we had robbed the Blunts when we sold Deano to them and spat me sunday dinner out when I spotted Paul Holmes playing for Everton on telly.

Jamie Lawrence had a few years at the top with Leicester city and Bradford City.

Least we forget the Smash n Grab member Alan Warboys.

League cup finalist Andy Rhodes.

[not on facebook]

What was that rovers player called who went to forest?

And not Tony woodcock before a plum lumps him in

think it was Paul gaynor or somert that sounds like him,how did he Get on at forest?

[Drover]

AH Yes Tommy Gaynor!

[Drover]

Paul Crichton had a Long steady career.

Yeah there is, but you also said "lesson number one Stay at doncaster". I don't think any of those who I've mentioned above will regret having left.

[Mr1Croft]

Gordon Greer: left us and captained Swindon to the Play-off final, the next season he captained Brighton to the league title and last year led them to the play offs and has been called up to the last 3 Scotland squads. Could well be leading Brighton out in the premier league in the next couple of years.

[Bessie Red]

Paul Raven had a decent career at West Brom in the Championship.

[covdrfc]

Jamie Lawrence? Had a decent career with Leicester and Bradford in the higher leagues after leaving us in division 4

[CGJ]

Bill Paterson - record sale at the time to Newcastle and then went (regrettably) to Rangers.

[not on facebook]

Paul Crichton had a Long steady career.

Saw Paul in an pub in Oslo about 5 years back,he was out Here as a greetings Cards rep.

Had a few pints with him and a good chin wag about that game at. Rochdale

He was shocked to see a signed doncaster star framed rovers shirt up behind the bar.

[Crowle Rover]

Mike Jeffery went to Newcastle and played in the UEFA cup if memory serves right

[craigdrfc]

Didn't Paul Holmes play for Everton years after he left us???

[RoverAtUni]

A fair few of the Derby fans I know always compare their midfielders now, like Bryson, to Paul Green. So they must of thought he was at least ok.

[Filo]

Neil Redfern played in the prem with Barnsley

[graingrover]

My junior Rovers team mate of the late 1950's RAY VEALL  made it into Rovers first team then went on to play left wing for Everton 
 for a few seasons before moving to the USA.
   Nobody went with Harry Gregg to Man U .. it was Bill Paterson who went to Newcastle just after Gregg left.
    It's almost cheating to talk of Tony Woodcock who was with us for about 10 minutes on loan ( 6 games in fact) before achieving success elsewhere .. Arsenal and in Germany together with KK.

[wilts rover]

Terry Curran did OK - apart from falling out with most of his managers

If i recall it correct woodcock was on loan from forest and doncaster had the chance to buy him as forest wanted 15,000 pounds for the transfer.

Rovers opted out and spent the money on a re vamp on the BV floodlights.

Woodcock went back to play at forest and later on England

[not on facebook]

Terry Curran did OK - apart from falling out with most of his managers

Yes i give you terry curran as they loved him at sheff weds

[dumbroofer]

shaun flannagan...ok never pulled up trees after he left us, but became a lumberjack in canada.

[ctay]

Mike Jeffery went to Newcastle and played in the UEFA cup if memory serves right

Played a few times for Newcastle, went to Holland (Fortuna Sittard I think), then ended up at Rotherham. Last time I saw Stuart Hicks he said Mike was a car salesman in Liverpool I think.

[Derby Viking]

Charlie Williams, though not in football terms
