Kev Keegan?
Peter Doherty? Either 1946 or maybe 1933 Irish Cup final, with Glentoran?
Mark McCammon? Millwall 04?
There can't be many seasons where the League has still been going after the FA Cup Final. I was wondering about wartime? Flicking through Tony Bluff's book now but its not helping...
It must have been a player that was loaned to a cup final team who then went back to his “main “ club. When did the loan system start ?
Stan Burton FA Cup Final for Wolves and then played for West Ham on May 6th 1939 just 5 days after the Final
Could that be Chris Balderstone? I seem to recall he played for the Rovers and also in a first class County Cricket match on the same day?

He played for Leicestershire at Chesterfield that day and ended the day batting 'not out', travelled up to play the match and resumed his innings the next day to complete a century I think!Ted Helmsley was also a cricketer but I don't think he played both sports while with us. (although I seem to recall he played a pre season friendly after playing cricket that day??)
Not for Rovers, but did Ian Botham ever play against us for Scunthorpe.?
