speeeeeeedie Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I don't know if this one counts but Paul Dalglish has just signed for the Houston Dynamos of the MLS. He played for our reserves a few times when his dad was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave birch Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Wilf Billington, (GK 1950ish) last seen in a club in Wollongong NSW Had bloody enormous hands and a similar sized sense of humour. Great bloke to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly Rover ® Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Former Academy player John Fitzgerald had quite an eventful day for Bury in the Carling Cup: "Sunderland held on until eight minutes from time, Bury defender Fitzgerald rising to meet Brian Barry-Murphy's corner at the near post and smashing a header past Ben Alnwick. Fitzgerald, who had already been booked, jumped straight into the crowd and was sent off for his second yellow card." Match Report: Bury 2 - 0 Sunderland Not quite the sharpest tool in the shed it seems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourLaneBlue Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Sam - Are you sure that was Nathan Blake? I've never heard that before. Philly - Wasn't Paul Dalglish at Liverpool before moving to Newcastle. Don't think he ever signed with us. Cheers to rover_groo for his invaluable knowledge - even if I must admit I haven't heard of most of them!

92er Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I was recently very kindly given the Harry Berry book featuring all the players for the first team since 1945. It's quite interesting to see where players have gone,and it mentions that some have died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Atkins' Bald Patch Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Just a followup on a few Norn Irish Players: DERRY CITY: Eddie McCallion GLENTORAN: Peter McCann LOUGHGALL: Jon Topley Jonny Topley is a good mate of mine ... I'm marrying his cousin in April ... he remembers his time at Rovers fondly. Good player ... just lacks that extra bit of motivation you need to make it at a higher level. Plus he's very fond of a full days beveraging on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourLaneBlue Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Gresko joins Nuremberg Hmm...maybe my 'wishful thinking' as in hoping for a move for Emerton to Middlesbrough was a bit early!
