Campbell didn't know what "murus pater vester vester" means? I'm surprised at that.

Had to be done: The Jam - English Rose

Were they on horses or were they on foot? I’m afraid it would have been a not guilty verdict in court based on your inconsistent and unreliable evidence. I’m surprised olddarwenblue didn’t call you out on that one. I am only teasing by the way.

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Bring it on. About time I got some support up here Mark ??

Slade - Mama Weer All Crazee Now

Paul Weller - Heavy Soul

John Martyn - Fine Lines

Paul Weller - Pink on White Walls. 24 years to the day since that album (Stanley Road) was released. The day after Rovers won the prem.

Doris Day - Quo Sera Sera i’ll get me coat......

You jinxed her! Her death has just been announced at the age of 97........

The Jam - I've changed My Address

I don't think so Mark

The old ones are the best Tony heh heh

Dexys Midnight Runners - Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache

Exactly mate. Not to mention the coach loads from Accy, Rishton and Great Harwood (the latter were who did me over, five of 'em)

Corrected for you mate ?

Freddie Starr is 'dead' apparently, according to the BBC, although they have now changed their headline to "reportedly died" and removed the inverted commas, which were a bit weird. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48222827 I can't get Curtis Mayfield out of my head now

As someone above said, it was probably more likely to be the Red House or somewhere like that.

If you went to Bogarts and you weren't from Darwen you would definitely remember it. Parochial battles were a nightly occurrence. I took the worst kicking I ever got in that place. The era you describe is spot on for Bogarts.

The Beatles - Glass Onion

Can I just say thanks to a few people: Firstly, to Damien Johnson and his team. As another poster pointed out, that man should be Rover of the Year! But also to the likes of Stuart and Parsonblue and Oldgregg86 who regularly provide the forum with updates from youth team and reserve games. For the those such as myself who are hundreds of miles away they are a fabulous lifeline to this part of the club, and are much appreciated. Have a good summer guys.

Not entirely on topic but all these posters talking about their wedding day being on the same day as a Rovers game made me think of the late great Bill Shankly. Shortly after his famous quote "Football isn't a matter of life and death, its more important than that!", a journalist asked him whether it was true that he had celebrated his wedding anniversary by taking his wife to watch Rochdale. "Don't be so bloody ridiculous son" he replied, "who gets married during the football season? It was her birthday. And anyway, it was Rochdale reserves!"

I take your point Philip but I would put my house on the number of English players starting the games being more than 6.
