[Archived] Bryan Douglas Darwen End

[Baz]

According to the LT the club have announced this tonight.

A marvellous jest urge, but always thought it should be done whilst he's alive, but should be the riverside.

[Ozz]

[Madon]

Fantastic gesture!

He IS alive, ain't he???

[mark1875]

He IS alive, ain't he???

Yeah, he is alive and well.

[CrazyIvan]

Nice gesture.

What's a jest urge?

[Stuart]

What's a jest urge?

An uncontrollable desire to tell a joke.

I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it, it was a shitzu.

(I wouldn't have gone with the Douglas one though!) :unsure;

Blooming spell checker! :-(

[Mike Graham]

I suppose it saves Rovers trying to get a sponsor

Lol

[broadsword]

Wonder what Bryan makes of it?

[chaddyrovers]

Fantastic gesture by rovers

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Not before time, best player I've seen at Ewood without a doubt.

[Stuart]

Not before time, best player I've seen at Ewood without a doubt.

And a Rover through and through.

You can't imagine Alan Shearer showing folk around the trophy room...

[Pedro]

He was still sat in the directors box at the last match so I hope this isn't posthumous!

I'm way too young to have seen him play but my grandad thought he was great. Definitely a fantastic jest urge by the club

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I was privileged to see him at his peak , what a player ! He scored the best goal I've ever seen at Ewood .

[dave birch]

Dougie had the ball tied to his feet.

Could dribble like no other.

The only way he was stopped was with a foul.

To my mind he was kicked out of the game in the same way Pele was. Yes, he was that good.....

Wonder what Bryan makes of it?

I wasn't at the do on Thursday night when the club announced it but Bryan was there but I have beeb told that he was very moved by the gesture, which he had no idea about beforehand.

I was John and he had tears in his eyes when it was announced. Very moving.

Loved that clip Ian. How big was that crowd!

[den]

I just hope that there are copies of these Pathe News videos elsewhere. I would hate to think that if that Pathe News site disappears, there will be no other record of these clips.

To me, they're priceless.

[Ianrally]

127,874. The biggest crowd I was ever part of was at Hampden in 1964 which was for the Scotland England match where the attendance was 133,245.
