You won't find a more honest manager than Bobby Saxton.

Deep Purple - My Woman From Tokyo

Ha, they used to sell programmes on match days from a hole in the backyard wall on Tweed Street.

Went on Neil Saxton's stag do to Magaluf about 15 years ago. Bobby was there along with Jim Branagan who still calls him gaffer. A doctor was called for on the plane coming back, Jim Bran had overdone it on the red wine. Lol.

Loyalty existed then. Most of those players served the club for 100's of games and so became legends.

Look at the board of directors, all dedicated local men. Sometimes they got "Sack the board" from the BBE. We didn't know what we had did we.

That would be the Portsmouth game '85(?) WW3 lol. Jim Furnell also did an amazing job, officially Reserve Team Manager but in reality did all sorts. Legend. Tony Parkes, First Team Coach, 5(?) times caretaker Manager. Legend.

I was talking to a friend of mine last week who is a good friend of Neil Saxton. Neil is the son of Bobby Saxton, Rovers manager from 1981-86. He followed a tough act, Howard Kendall and preceded the popular Don Mackay. My mate was saying he never gets mentioned, it's like he never existed. He did a great job at a tough time, keeping Rovers in the 2nd Division when all our Lancashire neighbours were plumbing the depths of the 3rd and 4th Divisions - our only derby games then were Oldham and CIty every year. Without him Rovers would have sunk probably to the 4th. A great bloke who still loves Rovers. Anyone got any memories or photos?
