Google says it was a Tuesday. 

Just had a look on 11 v 11 and it adds a bit of confusion. It gives the date of the original game as 18 February and the replay as the 23rd rather than the 28th. It also lists the West Ham team but not the Rovers

The game was played on a Thursday according to newspapers at the time GHD. Both Clayton brothers played for Rovers by the looks of things too.

I think Frank Large played for Rovers , in the early 60s 

Metcalfe nearly scored with a header !

I seem to remember a bit of a punch up v Fulham outside or behind the pub that's no longer there  (can't remember the name ) on Bolton Rd near the ground in mid 70s ...

I think the pub was called The Albion

I always remember my old dad having a bit of a downer on Johnny Haynes because all the press at the time used to glorify him to some extent. My dad would say , “He’s good but he’s not as good as Duggie”

Yeah Wags, some real entertaining goes in that one, a short-haired Stu's funky late header especially.

You’re thinking of Frank Lord.

He was. He’d been a regular goalscorer in the lower leagues. We signed him a couple of years too late.
