What a night that was. Ewood shook with joy. Walking (or trying to) up Livesey Branch Rd. Everybody singing and dancing around us. Tumult of noise. Just wonderful.

It was amazing, although I do recall being ridiculously nervous for the final few minutes.

You did well! I was a wreck from start to finish. Such a shame we faltered towards the end and had to depend on Manu not winning.  Best memory of that game for me was Flower's save.

My 11th birthday and still one of my favourite days as a Rover.

2nd half, foot of the post,very low down to his right. I had given it up.

The Ruel Fox effort?

I always think the Peter Beardsley save in the first half is the most underrated. Doesn't even make some of the highlights!

I was looking through the list of names for Junior Rovers birthdays and two stood out (if they are who I think they are). One is a local radio presenter and the other played Premier League and international football.

It’s almost certainly *that* Anthony Pilkington based on Wikipedia birthday. 

as for Mr B…I reckon it’s him too…good spot!

Isn't he a left back, or lwb ?

Can't see it with Ribeiro and Pickering here and Powell also. Unless they let Pickering go ?

At last, a replacement for Ryan Giles.

He was a giant that night. And his career at Rovers ended too early for me. Some poor manager decision-making from Woy.
