One of my mates - a pro who played 500+ games including plenty in the prem - played alongside Sid even after he had left Rovers. He said he's the best midfield player he's ever shared a dressing room with.

1-1 with 10 minutes to go. No idea who scored.

We conceded just before half time; 1-0 to Brighton.

Part of a team that won the (old) First Division and the European Cup, when you had to be champions just to be in it. He was a different class, a much better all-round footballer than Dunny. Wand of a left foot. And we only saw him at the arse-end of his career so I can only imagine how good he must have been in his prime. Tugay-esque.

I suspect that will be a pretty widely held view - as evidenced by the trajectory of their careers.

The emails don't always come through den and sometimes it takes a while. If you're worried about it, simply go into the app again and see whether it tells you you've already purchased the game.

Picking what I reckon would have been our strongest 2001 side versus what I think is our strongest side of 91/92: Friedel v Mimms - much as I thought Mimms was very decent, Brad wins this one for me easily. Curtis v Brown - not a lot in this one, Curtis was very steady for us but Brown did well in that 1992 team. If I had to rely on one of them though it would be Curtis, so he gets the nod from me Short v Moran - Craig was a colossus in that side, and made himself an all-time hero on Easter Sunday 2001. However, Moran was a warrior and a fabulous footballer too. His goal at Derby in the play off semi was the epitome of him. Berg v Hendry - Difficult to choose between these two, at their peak, but here I'm judging Berg at the end of his career and Colin approaching the peak of his, so he edges it. Bjornebye v Wright - Little Wrighty was a good full back for us, ideal for that Kenny promotion team, but the Norwegian was a class act and quietly went about his business and was a helluva crosser of the ball. Gillespie v Wilcox - Wilcox chipped in with a few goals in that promotion season and played on the right quite a lot if I remember correctly? Gillespie had some sensational games though, and him on one wing and Duff on the other was an extraordinary combination of two very different types of winger. Flitcroft v Atkins - very little to choose between these two to be honest, but I'll give it to Atkins because he was super. Dunn v Cowans - Dunn was a very talented player when fit, but Sid was world class. Duff v Sellars - sorry Scottie, Duffer is the best left winger I've ever seen play for Rovers. Hughes v Newell - it may seem harsh on Sparky, but we really missed Newell when he got injured, and he came back just in time to rescue us. Jansen v Speedie - Speaking of harsh, Speedie was a pocket dynamo and of course scored plenty of vital goals as well as being viciously hacked onto the Wembley turf on that glorious sunny May day in 1992. However, Matt Jansen was a very special talent and the sort of player you would pay good money to watch. So the final score is 6-5 to the 2001 team Obviously this is all my opinion and very subjective. You may not even think that these were the best eleven of each era. Looking at the squads, the 2001 side had good cover in all areas, we all know what happened in 1992 when we got a couple of injuries......

I agree with the overall point and the proof of the pudding was in the promotions in both of those seasons, but the 91/92 team in particular endured some shocking results and bad runs of form. Had we not scraped into that third promotion spot I think that lot would have been remembered as chokers. Its a thin line sometimes. That said, the spine of that team was miles better than anything we have just now and did it week-in and week-out. Hendry, Moran, Atkins, Cowans, Newell and Speedie. This allowed the Sellars and Wilcox's of this world to perform. I would argue that the 2001 team was the best we've had at 2nd tier level in my lifetime though.

The Beatles - Nowhere Man

I hate to say it but the first half reminded me very much of both the Wigan and Barnsley away games last season, and we know what happened in both of them.....

Rothwell would be on my list. Along with Kaminski, Arma, Williams and Elliott Ayala, Dack and Travis could easily have made the 5 but there has to be a cut-off point.
