Andrew Peckett left football to become a musician.

He was the drummer for Sheffield band Moloko.

I saw a tweet from Rufus Brevett around Christmas-time that sadly Robbie Stewart had died. He was one of those who made it to our first-team, although he only played a handful of games.

Rumour had it that Neil Morris was a ‘character’ ... would be interested to know what happened to him! Not sure if remembered reading that he turned to boxing at one point.

Please ask Rovers media if they can put your tape into viewable format for us all .

A great run in that cup that year. Man City and Spurs were great wins and then we came up against the man mountain Kevin Campbell.

It might be my memory playing tricks but wasn’t Spider Redhead involved somewhere or I have dreamt it?

I think Kevin Campbell might still hold the record for most premiershp goals scored (76) without winning a full international cap for any country.
