RIP Steve.

Your ‘thread’ will always be part of the tapestry that is Doncaster Rovers.

Good tribute to Steve on DROS that John Coyle wrote up. Well worth a read on an impressive career.

If I may be forgiven for venturing a little off topic, the mention, above, of Stan Brookes brought back to my mind that when he eventually left Rovers he went to a Belgian club. Quite unusual to go abroad in those days. The only other one - apart from Jon Charles and Denis Law - that I can recall is Dieter Brock of Northampton Town. A real live German playing in Division 4! Anyway, which Belgian club did Stan go to? Was it Mechelen?

I went to school with Stan, great lad.

I went to school with Stan too. Ran against him in the sports day mile.
He won.
I was tailed off.

One of my best friends who was a real all-round sportsman himself and who died 18 months ago, taught Steve and I believe Mike Elwiss  in the same class at junior school. He was a student teacher at the time and it was a school Intake way. ME proved he could succeed at a higher level and Steve had the talent to do the same.

Gerry Hitchens was another high profile player who went abroad, and for a short spell, Jimmy Greaves.
