[Archived] An Evening With Bobby Mimms


Brownie

Recommended Posts

Event at The Hordens Tuesday 10th Feb 2009

Following up on the great successes of the David Speedie and Matt Jansen evenings, we have another Rovers legend but this time one still currently with the Rovers.

Miimms was an integral part of the Jack Walker revolution, playing huge part in Rovers' promotion year under Kenny Dalglish and playing during the 1994/95 Premiership winning season.

Bobby was brought back to Blackburn by Paul Ince and is now a valued member of Sam Allardyce's backrrom team.

Do not miss the chance to question Mimms about the Premiership winning season and how life under Allardyce is different than under Ince.

Tickets as always are £5 and payment can be made by paypal to david.brownie@ukonline.co.uk or over the bar at The Hordens.

As Bobby is both currently connected to the club and has links to a previous generation of players there's a fantastic potential for fascinating insights into the club.

He must have lots of great tales about when he first joined as a player and the difference between now and then within the club (how it's run etc).

It surely wouldn't take a trained investigative journalist/Michael Parkinson to winkle out some stuff about Ince and his staff and how they related to the players (to confirm or deny some of the rumours) and the difference Allardyce has made at the club.

Certainly hoping to get to this one and Well Done to Brownie for these events!

Might have had a chance hearing if we didnt have people chuntering on about how "bloody hot it is" ;)

Can we ask him to be careful he doesn't drop the mike ?

I think we'd hear Mimmsy without a mike and standing in the smoking shelter !

Apparently. according to Andy Bayes, he's hilarious. Could be the best one yet and possibly the most interesting with reference to Ince and Allardyce.

1. Greatest Rovers memory?

2. Worst memory?

3. What was it like under Jack Walker, and do you have any fond memories of him?

4. How was it like on the last day at Anfield winning the title and what you remember from the day?

5. Plans for the future?

Hope they help

Keepers dont appear to be able to catch the ball as much these days and tend to punch

Is this due lightweight balls, (not the keepers) modern day gloves or the lack of ability.

Is the game developing into a non physical sport - are keepers over protected these days.

who was your biggest influence in becoming a keeper.

Brownie you may find some more questions here.

There's a few names on the questions list that don't post any more. Where are they?

1) Was Ince really that bad?

2) How do you weigh up the choices:

sitting on the bench earning a comfortable wage - or leaving for a less successful club but playing every week?

3) How do you know when you have found a new goalkeeping gem? Who is the best young goalkeeper around at the moment?

and what about a Youtube-type record of the event so that far flung supporters can enjoy it?

I can't see him making any controversial remarks about the guy who hired him. You'll probably get a generic "He was great with the lads, but it didn't work out for him" reply.
