Opposition player?

A rare win for Rovers v Reading

They remain to this day our biggest bogey team for anyone we have played over 30 time.

I am sure DU will correct me if I am wrong.

I can remember Graham Taylor bringing his top of the table and unbeaten team to Oakwell for an early September fourth division game in 1977 .

I'd never seen a team like them before , they were all bloody huge and powerful , we were like dwarfs at the side of that lot .

Up front they had a young Luther Blisset who just basically ran with the ball at speed and our defenders just bounced of him and an absolute giant of a forward called Ross Jenkins .

Blisset must have missed a dozen easy chances , he was Luther Misit before he ever played for England .

Without detailed checking that just has to be correct I reckon. I Think Yeovil threatened to rival that for quite a while, but then we started beating them quite a few times as they slumped.

When I was a teenager I used to have nightmares of us facing Keith Walwyn, he always used to score against us from memory.

Pedantic point of order, Tyke. It must have been a Third Division game. Taylor's Lincoln were promoted from the Fourth Division in 1975/76, and stayed there for 10 seasons.

Phil Stant,Keith Walwyn,Worrrell Sterling,Gary Penrice,Dean Windass,Billy Sharp oh how I wish he played for us OH wait a minute,Ivan Toney,they may not all have been prolific scoring against us but they would atleast be a nightmare to defend against and I would sigh at the sight of their names and the opposition squad list.
Although they did'nt play many times against us,I was impressed with Kenwyn Jones and Cameron Jerome when they played against us,I thought they looked the complete all-round striker,although they went on to have pretty good careers,I though Jerome did'nt do quite as good as I expected.

Yeah,Although I remember him being sent off at Belle vue once for Blackpool,1987 I think,it was late in the game,he should have got sent off much earlier,the dirty get that night.

It was Taylor's Watford team Steve , 1977/78 fourth division champions .

John Toshack's Swansea team went up with them and both went through the leagues to the old first division .

Les Chappell scored for us away at Elm Park.He didn'tcekwbeare very much. It was a cold day and there were few away fans there. But my memory says Rovers won - and that the celebrations were prolonged.... Only time, I think, I've ever seen Rovers win at Reading.

Thought I’d reignite this rather than make a new thread (seen as he’s already mentioned).

Our old nemesis Paddy Madden has just signed on loan for Stanley. Nailed onto score Tuesday.
