Looking at the stats on BBC you’d thing we were the best team, the problem is they don’t matter one jot. It’s all about sticking the ball in the onion bag. The only stat that counts. That’s the bit that Mowbray doesn’t get.

Corner of Richmond Terrace and Sudell Cross. The next time I saw him was as a car salesman at Leavers Vauxhall dealers. That was in the 80’s

I’m puzzled how Milwall are allowed to play in green and WHITE halves, when you have to change the colour of your shorts if they clash.

One of the best things about old photos like that are the things you’ve forgotten about. A brand of fags advertised there that have been long gone. Regarding the fact that Ronnie was rarely seen in the shop, my cousin was a textile designer and had a lot of contact with Ronnie who was a rep for a tie company at the time.

A strange day for high scoring. I thought ours was the only one at the time

Was there not some doubt that the game wouldn’t even go ahead because of fog?

Martin Tyler is nauseating about everything. He’s past it as a commentator. He actually doesn’t commentate at all, just mumbles away about anything other than the match.

On this performance I don’t think I have ever seen a more clueless Rovers team than this in my 60 years of following them. TM seems just as clueless as the players.

What a fabulous night that was, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Sadly realising what has happened since those heady days, in reality it’s more like a lifetime. Nothing can rob us of the memories though.

I hated Hughes,Savage and Speedie.......until they joined us

Sorry it’s blurred. It’s March 1965, agree on Fed Else and Mick McGrath. What I couldn’t work out was which ground it is. Facia of stand is either Sunderland, Everton or Spurs. The attacking forward has red socks which would lead me to think Sunderland, but facia is the wrong colour.

Here’s the front cover of one

Absolutely the best football annual ever published. My favourite football magazine was undoubtedly Charles Buchans Football Monthly. Maybe it’s an age thing

Here here Bazza. Too many clever dicks these days among so called commentators constantly churning out statistics rather than actually commenting on the game. Tyler being one of the worst. Oh for the likes of Brian Moore or Kenneth Wolstenhome.

Tommy Docherty on Lorenzo Amoruso ” Somebody compared him to Billy McNeil, but I don’t remember Billy being crap.”

Another classic from Big Ron ”Well Clive, It’s all about the two M’s. Movement and positioning.”

I wouldn’t listen to Jim White even without K•••n. He a total to$$er

I must be losing it because I had it in mind that Speedie climbed up the fence at the Darwen end after his hat trick goal against Newcastle, but not in the clip. What a player Speedie was.

Another example of historical manipulation. Brockhall first opened in 1907 as an institution for inebriated women, so didn’t exist when the period of the film is set.

This is soo difficult when you consider the players from the UK and Ireland who have played for the club. We were truly blessed with a very high standard over the years. I can’t argue with Shearer or Bellamy in the line up but I’ve always had a soft spot for David Speedie because of how he got us through to the play offs and how he got us that penalty. Also as far as strikers go, even Tyrone hasn’t mentioned Andy McEvoy.

I would definitely have Mike England in the team and also Keith Newton was a better full back than any that have been mentioned

Tyrone may remember better than I do but I seem to think that Bill Eckersley’s testimonial, many stars of his era turned out including Tom Finney, but Stan Mathews didn’t because he requested a fee to play. It is also in the back of my mind that Eckersley’s partner at full back in the England team was Alf Ramsey.

Can Rovers report Williams to Trading Standards and get their money back?

If this team were playing outside my front window I’d be drawing the curtains. I hate Paul Cook but I wish TM would give our lot a team talk like Cooks at HT.
