The Jam - Mr Clean From one of the greatest albums ever made

Indeed Tony. And it’s no coincidence that City’s best defender over the past few seasons has been Vincent Kompany. All the great teams have been built around a rock solid central defence, think 70s Leeds and Derby, 70s and 80s Liverpool, 90s and 00s United, Arsenal and Chelsea, not to mention our own title winning team. All with big powerful centre halves who took no prisoners. Football is not a complicated game. You coming up to my adopted city for the Rangers game mate?

When we had Bailey and Hird as our full backs with Keeley and Faz in the middle we had as good a defence as you will ever get at that level.

Ah, the other half of that famous Scottish double act, alongside Ben Doon

Paul Weller - The Soul Searchers https://youtu.be/Bfg-VWlopq8

I think I have posted this sentiment before but we Rovers fans owe this man a helluva lot. He is right up there with Furphy, Lee, Kendall, Saxton, Kenny, Souness, Hughes and Parkes for me.

And hopefully via The Persuaders original and not that awful cover version by The Pretenders.

Much as I was tempted to post a Take That song..... Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

He couldn't get in it back then Mark, in all honesty ha ha.

I've been bald since I was 19 so I can't really comment on that heh heh, but Howard Kendall signed my brother for Rovers as a 16 year old and our kid ended up with one of his shirts (same kit as is featured in that clip above). I was always surprised at how small it was. Top bloke and what a player and manager he was!

Not quite as far back in time but still brings back wonderful memories. Howard Kendall scoring a rare goal at Ewood
