He'd better do an autobiography, be an absolutely fascinating insight in to the last 15 or so years at the club.
I put a post on the Sadlier thread about Copps playing for us in his forties and it could well be that he will be the only outfield player to have done it, should he get there of course.JR was in his fifties of course when he made his one appearance.

JRs appearance was fantastic.Some people can't resist a chance to slate the man.
Ryan making a playing appearance is one of the most cringingly embarrassing things I've ever seen as a Donny fan.And I saw Mirsad Bubalovic's debut.

He was / is one of us - which of us if we had the money but not the ability would not give anything to play for Rovers in a professional game?
