Piss Poor Rovers Related Claims to Fame

[Dizzy_Burton]

For a few months in 1982/3 I worked with Stewart Mell's dad at Charlesworths on Wheatley Hall Road.

[Chris Black come back]

Drove past SOD the day of his sacking, he was on a walk to no where on bawtry road past the hare and tortoise out towards bawtry.

If I was asked to guess what SOD was doing on the day of his sacking, I genuinely would have thought it would be that. Very introspective man was SOD.

Mark Rankine was one of my best mates, always playing footy, he was class when he was 10 !

Either that,  or in the jam aisle at Asda as an outside bet.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Got served by Lewis Guys best mate in a co-op in Newcastle. That was pretty odd

[Muttley]

Sean Thornton once asked me if he could borrow my ladder as he had locked himself out his house and wanted to climb through an upstairs window.

[Rosso Exile Deux]

Queued at tills in Asda behind James O'Connor.  Mrs Rosso Exile called him Chicken Man from that day on (guess what he was buying).

See Dougie quite regularly, stopped me lamping someone in Paris Gate other year.

Used to see Ian Snodin quite a bit when I worked at the Paper shop in Edenthorpe mid 00's and was on first name terms, good bloke. He even caught me having a piss a few years ago on the marketplace on a saturday night.

Mark Hine used to drink in The Ridgewood & Beverley Inn time to time, had a good chat with him a few times, decent bloke.

See Leo Fortune West quite a bit on public transport, train to and from Sheffield when I was at uni and on 55 or 57 when I was on way to Dome. Think he's a Lawyer or something.

Bumped into Copps in Manana Manana bogs a couple of year ago, think I said something to him venting my frustration over a loss, think he saw funny side.

Served quite a few players when I worked at the Golden Arches, Sullivan, Copps, Hayter, Guy.

[RoversDave]

Had a pint bought me by Billy Bremner after he dropped the jackpot in the social club one afternoon.
Had piss next to Glenn Humphries .

Me and my mates filled the bandit a few times for Billy and Dave Bentley.

[LongbridgeMGRover]

Me and a mate were on hols in Turkey in the mid 80s and were walking along a harbour when we immediately realised that a guy getting off a yacht was the legendary Peter Kitchen. It really made his day to be recognised!

[Highland Rover]

Once beat Lawrie McMenemy's brother at darts !!

[Arsenal Of The North]

Jim husband, jonny maxted, Ben smith all lodged at mine, played poker with Brian Stoke until 2 on a Wednesday morning too! Walked in from work to see Niel Sullivan in my living room too, have to admit, I was a bit star struck and didn't really know what to say to him!

[BillyStubbsTears]

As a 10 year old, I saw Terry Curran's bare arse at point blank distance.

Don't ask.

[Herbert Anchovy]

A bit late I know but...

Went to school with a lass who lived 3 doors down from Dennis Peacock
Found Ian Snodins golf ball that he'd lost on Cantley Park
Nearly got run over by Brendan Ormsby at the racecourse roundabout
Used to walk past Stewart Mell's mums house on the way to my mates in Cantley
Drank flaming sambucas with Tim Ryan and Sean Thornton in Walkabout
Had an illegal pint with Andy Rhodes and Tony Kinsella in the supporters club bar at Bury

I once saw ATS complete a pass.

[not on facebook]

Dougie would leave match tickets for us at many away ground ticket office.

Sean parish would hook up with us many times on nights out.he rarely drank and I recall been in whatever night club or pubs when girls would ask him if he was Sean parish > he allways answered sorry no .

Sean sent us signed club shirts from Northampton and I think it was chesterfield after he left rovers.

Had a sit down drink and chin wag with kerry Dixon

Broke into rovers ground one night after town and removed every chair ,gym Matt ,Medicen ball weighing scales ,dumb bells etc etc from the gym under main stand into centre circle on the BV pitch.

Once put a orange DRFC stewrdas coat on during a home game and walked round the pitch then gobbed off at some of away fans lads .
Then placed the coat back on its rack.

Had drinks with john bird and Laurie Sheffield.

Went on the piss with Paul criton after he questioned the rovers shirt that was hung up in my work place pub in oslo.

[Canadian Rover]

Had a few pints with a wasted Gary Brabin and a few other rovers player's...I was with Ricky Ravenhills brothe & some other mates that night. You wanted a piss poor rovers claim to fame.

I was once drinking in the Turf Tavern (where's that ask the youngsters...?) early one evening. Place was pretty empty. In walked Brendan and Kitch, just the two of them. They proceeded to swig a goodly number of pints of the best beer ever invented.

I just sat watching. Awestruck.

Cheers

Was Big Bren setting them up for Kitch as he did on the Pitch ?

[Wild Rover]

Chased some "Heifers" in a round up with Steve Uzelac ( his dad "Bronco" had some near Fishlake that got out onto road).
Eddie and Steve and Andy Beagleole were living in same village as me.
Brought Algerian lads over for a trial at Rovers. Dave McKay didnt think they were suitable.
Had many drinks in "Hacienda" with Billy Russell .

You must have been in ASDA where he passed me

[Nudga]

Oh, almost forgot, I went to Copps wedding reception and had a few drinks with greeny, Steve Roberts, Copps, Sean mcdaid.
Whilst there, we watched a 4x4 burn out in the car park.

[tommy toes]

Too many boring ones to mention.
Non Rovers related was Terry Connor.
He was staying in the same hotel as us in Spain. It was when Rovers were in the Conference and he was McCarthy's assistant at Wolves.
We talked footy all week by the pool and ended up mates swapped phone numbers and kept in touch for a while afterwards. A really nice bloke.

[1879Rovers]

Sean Flanagan changed a broken window at my school shortly after finishing playing. At the time, I didn't realise he had finished at Rovers.

[Bentley Bullet]

Billy Whitehurst once accused me of pinching washing off of his line. I nearly shit his pants.

[Hounslowrover]

'Met' Alick Jeffrey at the swimming baths, me and my mate Derrick, were on the top stage and he came up and asked to go before us.  Obviously we let him, I think he was showing off to the other players there.

[gillinghamrover]

Met Glynn and Ian Snodin at my little brothers end of season presentation night for the Rossington All Stars 1981ish.

Was in Sandall Park. Stocky was there with his wife she was feeding the baby. Brian asked me to wind the little un. Thought that was a bit harsh so I gave it a dead leg instead.
