      Albrighton - Mills - Ryan

     Whiteman - Wellens - Stock

 Diouf                            McIndoe

I'd have Colin Sutherland in all my all time favourite Rovers squads. Awesome entertainment value!

Thonk you could extend that further in that XI. They are pretty much all lively! Be a good night out with that lot!

Not a right lot of pace up front but doesn't matter when you have Copps and Macca tearing up the wing and Tim Ryan pinging in 30 yarders every other week. Shoooooot!

A tad lop sided with 2 left footed centre halves but can’t have it all!

Pretty sure Mills was left footed but now I’m second guessing myself.

I realise that I'm not as qualified as everyone else on here, but I'm going to allow myself a bit of indulgence by keeping my favourite 11 Rovers players to the period that I used to occasionally watch them with my Grandad in the 1980's and early 1990's. On the whole it wasn't a golden period for the Rovers but certainly rekindles great memories for me. I may have got a few of the players positions wrong but I'm sure that you'll still get my drift.

1. Willie Boyd

2. Billy Russell
3. Steve Lister
4. Russ Wilcox
5. Les Robinson

6. John Buckley
7. Ian Snodin
8. Alan Little
9. Glynn Snodin

10. Tommy Gaynor
11. Alan Brown

12. Andy Rhodes
13. Steve Richards
14. Neil Redfearn
15. Eddie Gormley
16. Steve Adams
17. David 'Bruno' Jones

Paul Raven was a great player. What a fantastic career he had at West Brom.
