Sammy do you do you remember Rankin, Glyn Ian Snodin, and Rufus Brevitt just to name a few. what a team that was
Fairhust came from Doncaster boys .. as did Johny Billings .. The team that beat Brierly Hill in the final of the English School trophy ... that team joined Rovers in it's entirety and played in the Northern Intermediate League for two seasons before all of the players left except Bilings and Fairhurst. It goes back to season 1958/59 /60 !
Fairhurst came from Sheff Utd aswell!Right now we're looking the best we have with youth for a long time. Most of them have come through for a few years too, not picked up from other teams academies. I love seeing our own lads come through but don't have a problem with picking up someone like Beestin either. Wouldn't mind a few more like him in January either.
