Rovers fans you never see at games anymore. Part ?

[Chris Black come back]

What about that lad who arranged plane over Hull City when we won title in 2004 and went on Look North?

[Al4475]

I dunno if you're on about the same lad but one of those who organised that is a good mate of mine - posts on here occasionally as 'Gallagher lad.'

He's a successful business man and lives in Leicester - one of his neighbours is in kasabian.

He has a box at The King Power.

[Chris Black come back]

Maybe. I was thinking of the lad who had three great points to make on TV but only got to two...

Did a cracking job organising that plane. From memory they did not find it funny.

[Al4475]

Rob the Rover was in that same look north clip, can't remember who else was on it now - there's a clip somewhere.

That was ‘Gallagher Lad.’ He was in the year above me at school.

[Al4475]

Top bloke - lovely Mrs and kids as well- he's done really well for himself!

[The Beast]

Is Palo still kicking about

Puts in an appearance now and then

palo lives in Spain I'm sure

Chiselled out of granite, lives on black coffee and roll-ups, resides over here in the summer, often get for a drink with him, always has a story or three!

[ridgewoodrover]

For those of us who enjoy paillos company outside of the footy, he’s now acquired the monicker of the Cambodian cock hound.

I saw Palo about a month ago in Armthorpe doing some gardening.

[elmsallrover]

What about Dan who ran the buses with paul

Me?

[Al4475]

Rob, have you still got the clip?

[RobTheRover]

No mate. Have you?  Tanya Arnold was lovely. A right laugh before filming the clip.

I think Chris Black means Dave "3 Reasons" Haycock who came up with the original idea. I think Dave moved to live near Leicester and mostly goes to watch them now with his kids. Not seen him at the KMS for ages.

[Chris Black come back]

Yep it was the guy who ran out of his three points live on TV. Given what folk say above this has clearly not stopped his rise to global business domination.

[Al4475]

Yeah it was - I didn't want to name him personally as he has made a big business name for himself via his company that people on here have possibly had dealings with through the ppi claims over the last 10 years hence why I just referred to him as Gallagher Lad.

He does indeed live out of Leicester, a neighbour to one of the guys in kasabian and has an exec box at Leicester - I think already said all that tho!

Am dead chuffed for what he's done - he was and still is a good mate of mine who I convinced when he was younger to get out of intake/town moor and go to uni to study.

He told me about his business idea for ppi claims walking across the fireman's
Field (as we called it when we were younger) to BV for that Arsenal Coca-Cola cup game. It sounded to me at the time like a proper good idea - how right he was!

He was a great striker in the day too - he was our top scorer in the Sunday morning prem side I ran (from uni tho) when he was only 16. He's 4 years younger than me.

Rob - did you not 're-find' and post that clip to the vsc directors bit on here a couple of years back?

[Richard]

For fans from the 1960s, does anyone know what happened to the two women who used to go home and away, big Stuart Robertson fans, Astrid and Daphne, remember travelling to Southend one bank Holiday by train with them both.

[roversdude]

Great trip down memory lane there, some proper characters

[idler]

I'm sure I saw Daphne in the 90s on an away coach. I can't remember seeing Astrid or her husband after the late 60s.

[washyrover]

What about Dan who ran the buses with paul

I still go sit on the back row with my son , near the press box next to Paul.

[Sif]

Anyone still see Sif? Lost touch with him a while back when he lost the love for Rovers and moved to Manchester.

Still alive and well, Gary. Moved down to Cheshire now. Wife, kid, dog. Standard stuff.

Hope you're doing well?

[Herbert Anchovy]

Anyone remember the 'Donny Dressers' in the mid-late 80's? They could be a bit of a handful if memory serves me right. They were regulars on the Pop side at games.

Also, a band from Bentley called 'Skin Deep' made up of local Skins who used to go and stand beneath the Main Stand at Belle Vue. I think they went to games for about 3-4 years then just stopped. They were absolute top lads. Not seen them for about 30 years though, but apparently one of them went off to play in Pete Doherty's band a few years ago.

All good stuff then. Have you bought a Range Rover yet?

[Sif]

Sadly not, no. And i wouldn't. Awful things.

We bought an estate car. Very sensible.

I do own no less than three Barbour coats, and two pairs of Hunter wellies though... so i'm a proper c*nt even without the Range Rover.

[philsky]

Oh aye, I haven't seen Bikka for ages. Used to live Huddersfield way out, sorted the West Stand Barmy Army flags out.

When Rob, Stu and a few other sorted our South Stand Barmy Army flag (complete with magnets !) it was bikka who had two or three flags - nice guy but where is he ?

I used to see them all over the country following Rovers.They were more Scawthorpe than Bentley.
A bit like the Redskins,(the singer lived in Cantley for a few years.)
Mick,the lad from Skin Deep got a job in a shop on Carnaby Street and started up by being a roadie at that time,then stepped in for somebody to drunk to play,or didnt turn up.
I picked a paper up about 14 years ago,could have been the Sun(:blush),and on the gossip page was a photo of Mick holding up a very w@#nk#d Amy Winehouse!

[scawsby steve]

More in the line of posters rather than supporters, but where's RedJ lately? I used to like his posts.

[Martyn1968]

Quite a bit on You Tube of Skin Deep. I was in Mick Whitnalls year at Don Valley, good lad. Quite a few Scawthorpe skins in those days, mid 80s. Mick played with Filney Quaye as well as Babyshambles. Think he lives on the south coast now and has been in and out of rehab.
