I grew up next to Dark Lane and had a purpose built hole in the fence so I could sneak on to watch. Remember when Rossendale played Shrewsbury Town at home in the FA Cup.... It was a busy day for the police and my dad forbid me from sneaking on to the ground. Beware of Malcolm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverholmes Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I found this interesting article on Gary Harkins, who was at Rovers in the Mark Hughes era. I've never heard of a player to go from defensive midfielder/CB to skilful maverick well into, apparently, his career. He says in the article: “When I was younger I was coached to give it to people who can play, to just touch and play. I wasn’t coached to do skills or to do things. I think that happens to quite a lot of guys in Scotland where their talent gets coached out them. I got to a point when I’d left Blackburn and went to Grimsby – I had a year at Grimsby and I hated it – and I thought, ‘I’m not playing football this way. If I’m going to play, then I’m going to play the way I want to and enjoy it’. Once he went from defensive player to free role playmaker, he had a very decent career in Scotland with Partick Thistle,, Dundee, Kilmarnock and many more and gained a reputation as a maverick.

I've played alongside and against Alex and as a young man, I spent many late nights chatting with Jim when we used quiz together. I always found him to be a lovely, humble but interesting guy and I miss those days. Jim was a wonderful man, not to mention a great snooker player. He coached my son for a few years, when he was showing some serious promise of perhaps making a living in the sport. It was sad when he passed away and I know the girls took it very badly. I used to advise Alex and his wife Jan and saw them on a fairly regular basis and last saw them a few years ago when the attended my wife's birthday bash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
