Wow kind of knew it was coming but it’s still a big deal. Hope it works out for him and us now!

[jmt23]

And is that the new away shirt? I like it

[Guernsey Exile]

And is that the new away shirt? I like it

Was thinking that

[Chris Black come back]

No idea how we can afford this, where he is going to fit in, or whether at 38 he can still make an impact, but 100pc behind this.

[ravenrover]

38, fit as a lop he"ll fit in at this level.
We just need to make sure another Dunk hasn't got him in his sights

[MachoMadness]

Return of the king. Scored a few in the MLS just a few months back so if he's fit, even taking nostalgia out of it, you'd think he has something to add.

But how can you ignore the nostalgia? That's the greatest ever right there. Welcome back King Billy, let's make the last dance a special one.

[Chris Black come back]

Our bench is going to be a thing of beauty next season.

[ravenrover]

Wonder how that will work in GM favoured formation will it now be 4 4 2 I can't see Billy fitting into a 4 3 3 formation

[Barmby Rover]

Wow, if this sort of thing is happening then this division will be shivering in their boots, even if he doesn't play his influence on George and Joe will be so important. Many thanks to Billy, he didn't have to come to L2 to get games, but he came for Rovers, we love you lad.

[DonnyOsmond]

McCann will take inspiration from SOD and shove Ironside into the wing to act like Mark McCammon.

[ravenrover]

Here is in his full glory

[RoversInSpain]

Fantastic experienced, goal scoring addition.
Love it. Come on Billy lad, help us to a great season.

Must keep Ironside now.

Matty Craig anyone, as a cherry on the top??

[Hoppergob]

Welcome Home Billy Sharp.    (TWO BOB)

[Paul Simpson]

Awesome!! Welcome back Billy Sharp!!

[Red wizard]

Welcome back fat lad from Sheffield. God I love him. My favourite rovers player ever along with copper.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I thought it might happen before now but pleased all the same.

Fingers crossed, we fall in love yet again, although we need to cut him some slack, as he gets used to League Two football.

He did a big favour for me a couple of years ago, and I hope I get the chance to shake his hand and thank him properly. A true gent and legend.

By God, Terry is really digging deep into his pockets now. What a great Summer of signings we're having.

This is really going to put arses on seats, because the floating fans just want excitement. They came back for the thoughts of a Wembley appearance, probably took their ball home again after the Crewe capitulation, and now they'll want to be part of the return of the hero.

[Copps is Magic]

I think this will do a lot in the stands (fans), off the pitch (leadership), and on the pitch (he was scoring goals as late as last calendar year), so for me it's a good signing..

..and not just nostalgia for my second favourite ever player.

[Chris Black come back]

He might score one, he might score twenty.

But imagine the scenes when the first goal goes in. 

[ravenrover]

I love the video
"I'm back!"

[Bentley Bullet]

Just a fat lad from Sheffield.....

But worth his weight in gold!

Welcome back, King Billy!

Another thousand season tickets sold?

[Dutch Uncle]

He might score one, he might score twenty.

But imagine the scenes when the first goal goes in. 

Especially if it is in the league, and thus his 250th PL/EFL goal 

[Sprotyrover]

Brilliant News he will be a Battleship taking on Row Boats!

[Copps is Magic]

He might score one, he might score twenty.

But imagine the scenes when the first goal goes in. 

Especially if it is in the league, and thus his 250th PL/EFL goal 

Any potential implications for our top goalscorers chart, Dutch?

[Scooter]

Brilliant signing. I wonder how many shirts are sold with his name on the back. I’ll be buying one

He is currently equal 22nd on the club all time list (all competitions) with 45

The next few above him:
Tommy Rowe 46
Laurie Sheffield 48
Kit Lawlor ,& Ron Walker 49
Ray Harrision & Clarrie Jordan 50
Albert Turner 53
Paul Heffernan & Stan Burton 54
Paul Todd 57
Peter Doherty 60

Don't want to go any further, may have jinxed him already 

[Michael Shaw]

A massive signing for the club to say he is now in league two. Well done to Grant and co to get him here. Sign me up for a shirt.

[drfchound]

Amazing and thank you Terry.
My bet for us to win the title next year looks a bit more possible.
Can’t wait to see him back in the hoops.
