Happy birthday sir francis

Franny Tierney is 43 today - happy birthday to the goal scorer of, in my opinion, the most important goal in Rovers history!

Good debate this one ! Was it his down in Stoke or Mr Hayters at Wembley ? Either way Happy Birthday Sir Franny.

Not really a debate - just my own opinion - there are many others if folk really wanna debate it - Whitman, guy, hayter, copps, Lee could all have a claim in fans eyes - ditto duerden, blundell, Jeffrey (m) etc. etc. And that's without really going back too far - am sure the older fans amongst the posters on here remember others from before I was born (1975) more fondly than those. Lol

Tierney probably the most important.  Hayters definitely the most satisfying. Watching that big club Leeds suffers absolute quality

Coppinger day Brentford the most celebrated?

Aye.

Tierney's has to be the most important. The goal that began our rebirth and set us off on what happened over the following decade.

If he hadn't scored that goal, potentially no third division title the following year, potentially no Wembley win against Leeds (or Cardiff for that matter) and potentially no Championship years - so neither the Hayter or Coppinger goals would've happened.
