Thats brilliant. Roy "Savage" Cropper.

I heard from a 'source' he is actually a Dingle and it's an "in joke"...

The actor who plays Roy is actually a big Leicster fan I believe

So we get associated with the loser who's married to a bloke? Awesome.

What's the guy who works at the Post Office doing in Romania?

Was it recommended by Sir Roger Moore?

He's probably finding something to do whilst he's off on strike

At work so I've no time to check, but...

...did Savage ever play when we had the name and number in black?

[brian_gallagher85]

No, plus it's not even next or near the proper lettering. I'm guessing he had to have a Savage shirt since he's a Leicester fan

Why does that matter? My dad has Douglas on his shirt. DEFINATELY not the right era of letter and number style, seeing as names weren't around on shirts back then.

First The Grapes closes and he is redundant, then sacked by the Royal Mail...this man is unemployable!

It doesn't matter, really, it's only a crappy soap opera!

I was just commenting at an apparent lack of continuity. It hadn't occurred to me that the costume people at Granada had include reference to Robbie as an homage to his time at Rovers. Thanks for correcting my lack of vision and kudos to Granada for going that one step above and beyond!
