For reasons I can't quite recall, I got round to thinking about players past & present who have represented Rovers over the years.Jamie Price, again for reason's I can't quite recall, came to mind.There was a player who played with a smile on his face & put a smile on yours at the same time. So pleased that he is a member of the Rovers Hall of Fame. Who can ever forget his thumbs up to the fans after he'd just scored & the chant of 'AFRO, AFRO GOAL MACHINE, AFRO, GOAL MAThere have of course been many others.What a signing Leo Fortune West was for us. Bless Dave Penney for bringing the 'right' centre forward to the club at the 'right time'.Does anyone remember Jamie McSporran? I cant recall seeing many faster wingers in a Rovers shirt. I was at Belle Vue the night his achillies heel snapped. I could swear I could hear the snap from where I stood. One minute he was flying down the right wing with the ball at his feet the next 'BANG' & he was in a crumpled heap. I don't think he ever played again.Memories eh. Harmless memories.

McSporran's high point was that "Brazil" goal at Oldham I think it was. The dislocated knee cap at OBV (against Bradford?) was unjust.

The thing that most impressed me most about Jason Price was the amount of time he would spend chatting with the kids around the ground - and yes, always with a smile on his face.
