Paul Gilchrist.
Good one Idler. Forgot him, although my excuse is he was before my time watching the Rovers down at Belle Vue.

Now that’s annoyed me that I didn’t think of them. Think I am going to put that down to age and memory loss.
Well I need some excuse for not remembering them.  Shocking.  :facepalm:

Branfoot was manager of Southampton but don’t think he played for them did he?

Just checked on Wikki. No he didn’t play for them.

 Sorry ... I meant to title it "played for Southampton against Rovers and and For Rovers against anyone " :facepalm:


I never knew Gilchrist came from Southampton

I did cheat  on the 1-1 (team a versus team b site) as I was trying to see if Bale ever played against Rovers

but it's all good fun 


 I ended up On bl00dy Bentley Colliery FC   website checking out a Mills who played for Bentley Colliery  :thumbdown:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_Colliery_F.C.

They first folded in 1915 (and at regular intervals)

  Bentley Bullet, his dad and  uncle - Wolfie and Scawsby Steve!  were all at the  1915 match

Gilchrist didn’t come to Rovers from Southampton, he was signed by Laurie McMenemy for Southampton in 1972 from Rovers and played in the FA Cup final in 1976 which they won.

Having looked him up on Wikki and seen his photo, you are right he did a bit.

I was so young I never even saw him play for Rovers.  :rolleyes: 
I Wish.

The truth is i didn’t start watching Rovers until 1975 at age 20 when i came from Leeds to live in Doncaster.
