Dave S Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rovers may be about to enter the loan market. Over the years we have signed a number of 'Loan Rovers.' Does anyone have any favorites or cringeworthy loan signings? A favorite of mine was Mark Grew. When Rovers were at a low ebb he came in and was superb in goal. The Blackburn End took to him and chanted his name, he was rapidly becoming a fans favorite. It shows how skint Rovers were as he came on loan from Port Vale. They recalled him and we couldn't afford to buy him. Any memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Terry Shanahan think he came from Halifax of all places ..about 1973 , think he scored at least one goal . Peter Silvester from somewhere beat notts county 6=0 on his debut and he didnt score ... 1976 i think . Terry Shanahan, that's a blast from the past. He came on loan from Ipswich Town for whom he played 3 first team games after an earlier spell as a Spurs trainee.. After his loan spell at Rovers which encompassed 6 games and 2 goals ( both scored in a home game against my adopted home town team Rochdale ) he moved on to a permanent transfer to Halifax ( 88 games- 8 subs- 23 goals ). Later on he had a good spell at Chesterfield (56-4-28), before playing for Millwall (13-7-5), Bournemouth (14-4-1) and finally Aldershot (16-0-4). What bit I saw of him I thought that he was a lively, hard running winger/ striker. I was surprised we never pursued him but Ken Furphy had his head screwed on and he must have known the great Tony Field was just around the corner. One loanee from that era that springs to mind is Dave Gregory, he scored in 4 games out of the 6 he played for us but we let him slip through our fingers !

Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Di Santo and Mame Diouf up front would get most teams out of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Di Santo and Mame Diouf up front would get most teams out of the championship. Mm maybe, the wouldn't get many fans out of their seats though. Or even into them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gull Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 How can anyone look past Ossie Ardilles! Or even Steve Archibald. Both massive players when signed. More recently I think David Bentley had to be the best due to how he developed with us and made us some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebruce Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Di Santo and Diouf were both fine except for one thing- utterly couldn't finish. Modeste was worse. Bentley wasn't that great when he was on loan, was just ok. Then as soon as we signed him he banged a hat trick against United! And from then on was fantastic for us. I expected people to mention Gresko. I remember everybody saying he was great on loan, when I personally thought he was average at best, and were happy when we signed him. Turned out to be dross.

arbitro Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 An ex player was brought on to the pitch at half time at Peterborough on Saturday - David Gregory. My memory might be playing tricks but I seem to recall he had a couple of loan spells with us. And Kevin Arnott seemed to be around for a few spells as a loanee. Perhaps the biggest impact of any player though was Steve Archibald on loan from Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Phil Starbuck, loaned from Forest if I remember correctly. I remember being excited with this loan deal, probably because of his last name!!! My memory tells me he was a reasonable attacking midfielder, but I'm sure I will get shot down in flames with those who remember him better!

kokkini Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Loved Grewy, wasn't Gennoe injured and we had a struggling Paul Shepstone in goal? Grew came in and was superb for us. Did we have Jim Beglin for a few games too? Remember he was coming back from serious injury, looked class for us but the injury was too much for him and had to retire early?
