Rhodes. That was 'Andy
A slight detour but as I think he lives in Australia now I will use that as cover - anyone else remember the TV show about Britain’s tightest people and the steward bloke from Belle Vue was on there? Used to pick up toilet roll thrown on pitch and take home after match. Was in period when we got zero media attention and this was a real profile-raising opportunity for Rovers.

A mate of my old fella, him. Sure he used to live in Armthorpe.

Since I moved to Northern Ireland I’ve learned that Dutch uncle is also there although we haven’t met yet. I’m sure we will do in the near future. My grandma lived opposite Alick Jeffrey in Cantley and I went to school with Alick junior who was 2 or 3 years older. I also thought I saw a Donny shirt being worn in Belfast city centre

Well not quite a fan but I went to view an Art Deco house which had found on themodernhouse.com in Castleford and Dave Penney opened the door. Cracking period house, nicely kept in order by Dave and the missus. Chatted about the League Cup run against City, Villa and Arsenal and just stuff really. We'd cast a very wide net on houses so it was probably a bit too far North for us but lovely to see DP. He's a lot smaller than you think. That goal at Southend in the cup away......
Had my rover's top on when I lived in Canada and a guy came upto me who was from Doncaster. He didn't go games like. It's a small world.
On May 18th 2008 whilst on a birding trip, walked into a remote motel in Paradise, Michigan and was told some other English birders were also staying there. Amazingly, they were from Retford and Rovers supporters and were overjoyed to hear we'd just beaten Southend and were now to meet Leeds in the famous Play-off Final.
My new next door neighbour, elderly couple move in next door turns out he is a Rovers supporter you don't find many round Nottingham. It then turns out his son lives just around the corner and is also a Rovers fan 3 of us in the same village within100yards of each other
