Snap!

Even though the Snodins were in that team I was most disappointed whenever Warboys was out.. I guess that is the young kid always likes the striker thing?

Matty Cauldwell for me, wonder what he ended up doing.

Liverpool are my 2nd team and Steve Nicol was my fav player so getting to see him playing for Rovers, however briefly, was great.

Mine was also Warboys. Great in attack or defence. Just a shame injury finished his career. We were going really well in our first season in the Third Division until he got injured.

Either Ian Snodin or Ernie Moss, can't recall which one.

bobbymax · « **Reply #19 on** April 20, 2017, 04:06:24 pm by bobbymax »

Ian Miller was my first Rovers hero. Came to our Ridgewood Colts end of season do at Rockware Club in 1977 and gave us our trophies.

Snap! Although probably for different reasons to you.

Ian Duerden was a very close second

Windy Miller

Animal

Warboys

Colin Douglas

Old school heroes who you could have a few pints with and talk about football all night.

Special mention for Billy Bremner, but he liked the whiskey

But you have Colin Douglas on your list. He liked anything he could get his hands on.

Another for Brian Usher. What a winger that guy was, just wish I'd seen him and Laurie Sheffield on the same pitch.
