[Pancho Regan]

River Lee in Hertfordshire (Graeme Lee)

I thought that it is the River Lea Pancho, although on checking I see Lee is an alternate name

I think it's spelt both ways Dutch. Part of it has been 'canalised' (if that's a word!) and named the Lee Navigation. It flows into the Thames.

No - these are off the top of my head. Aint started on Gurgle yet !

Reminds me of a mate I had at work years ago. Always setting questions usually trick questions. So one day (a long time ago you will see) he comes and says - hey - there are 5 current Premiership Players whose names are Birds - can you get them

OK - Alvin Martin for one .... ah ah he says There are 6 Premiership Footballers whose names are Birds - can you get them. So I went for it and got Alvin Martin Peacock and the other 3 I cant remember them now but was stuck on the 6th

Every hour he came back to see if I had cracked it and much as I tried (and I did try) I could not get the last one. Taunted me for the rest of the day and I carried it over to next day (as he kept saying you will kick yourself etc). Eventually on Day 2 I gave up and he laughed and said Efan Akukoo  (spelling probably wrong) . He was right I did kick myself !

About a year later he got me again with so many things you find at a BBQ - I remember Cole (coal) being one and got the lot again except one. I gave up a lot earlier this time and was right to do so because the answer was Paulo Wonchope !

Ho Ho he's sneaked off so I have a quick quiz

Can you think of any Rovers Players past or present who DONT have names that are Rivers lol (it might be a shorter list !!!) lol

[The Red Baron]

Two from 1930-31. SCOTT River California and CASTLE River New Zealand. Jack Scott was a centre half from Barnsley. Fred Castle was from Cardiff and his three goals for Rovers were all in the same match.
