Just wanted to pay my respects to chris Thompson as well. That era was one of my favourite times as Rovers were a decent side although I missed a lot of games because I was a student in Newcastle. I can actually remember Chris' debut because his dad was sat behind me in the Nuttall stand. I thinkit was a night game. Thought he was quite ordinary to start with but he went on to become a really good honest player for Rovers with no little ability. A great foil for Garner, good control and his goal record was more than respectable as well. RIP Chris Thompson very sad news

Hi watching the Rovers situation with great interest. Lived in Darwen up to the age of 13 and followed Rovers for 42 years.
