The original click bait

My great uncle Albert Walmsley would be another (played in I think the 1920s) and a former works team mate of mine Pete Devine played a few first team games for the Rovers as well.

My musical tastes are eclectic and in truth I rarely play The Jam these days, I just occasionally take a notion for a particular album.

Mine will be culled from these

Everything But the Girl - Me and Bobby D

Bah late winner for Boscombe. In terms of the play off places not a bad day for us (as long as we get summat on Monday)

Bournemouth and Boscombe have equalised but Forest and QPR losing

Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson

Donkey lashers one up against Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic

Because it is utterly shit.

Take a bow Ian

He just can't bloody help himself Tony.

There were two separate minutes' silence. One for VE Day and one for Noel Brotherston, who had tragically died a few days earlier. You could hear a pin drop during both of them, which when you consider the cauldron the atmosphere was that night, was incredible, and a testament to the 30,000 in attendance. I've always respected the Geordies since that night.

The Black Pumas - OCT 33

Paul Weller - Back In the Fire Nice use of the word 'wanker' in the lyrics....

Dion and the Belmonts - A Teenager In Love

I seem to recall that it was indeed Bill Fox. Franz Carr was selected as an apprentice at Ewood ahead of my younger brother, Rovers only took one or two on every year at that time and they could only afford one that season. Franz’s dad was a bit pushier than mine! (joking apart Franz was an exceptional player at 16 and even our kid understood why he’d been selected).

Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana

The Jam - Beat Surrender

Culture Club - Time (Clock Of The Heart)

The Jam - When You're Young

The Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby

: Kaminski, Lenihan (c), van Hecke, Wharton, Nyambe, Travis, Buckley, Rothwell, Zeefuik, Hedges, Giles Subs: Pears, Johnson, Ayala, Davenport, Khadra, Rankin-Costello, Brereton Diaz

Ocean Colour Scene - I Told You So

I'm afraid this spoilt what was otherwise an interesting post. Rovers have had many more than just the 3 'glory seasons', even if you believe that football didn't exist until 1992, which it most certainly did. For what it is worth, 1995/96 was Jack's biggest mistake. For all the reasons you have alluded to.
