Dave Travis 84/5 season

[Draytonian III]

With the topic about ex Southampton/Rovers players it got me thinking about past players , anyone remember Dave Travis, I think he joined from local league football Hatfield Main ?

[drfchound]

I remember Trav.
I played with him and against him over the years.
A very talented player.

Born and raised in Fishlake ( my own home village). Remember him well.

Not sure where he signed from, but he also played in the North East Counties for Pilks.

I haven't found the topic about Southampton/Rovers players so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Anyone else remember Paul Gilchrist, sold to Ted Bates' Southampton for £30K in the early 1970's. Motson once described Paul  as 'the emerging young Gilchrist' on Match of the Day. Sadly, he didn't pupate. Injury finished him. Last time I heard of him, maybe10 years ago,  he was living about 15 miles from me in a village outside Swindon. He was a good player. A forward.

I recall Travis, circa 84/85. Used to sport a perm and a bit of a ‘tache if I remember rightly?

Anyone else remember George Miller, signed for Rovers from Barnsley in 2022?

Sorry, Bob, I couldn't resist. We've been talking about Gilchrist now for the last few days. Why couldn't you find the Rovers/ Southampton thread? It's just a few threads down from this one.

Craig,

Everyone had a perm and a 'tache' in 1984.  You'll have to think of other distiguishing features!!

Curly hair and tache probably explains his hirsute cornflake..

Was very mid 80s in his appearance. Worked really hard in the middle of the park. My overriding memory is of him having a great game in the all green away kit, March 85, 3-2 win in a mud bath at Milmoor. The game would not have gone ahead now. In fact you never see professional pitches remotely like that now
I also don't recall us winning at Rotherham since that day

I was there when he scored his only Rovers goal, an equaliser in a 1-1 draw away at Bristol Rovers at Eastville.
