I remember that season very well, it was indeed a very good team but I am not sure it was our greatest ever one.I was speaking to Laurie Sheffield a couple of weeks ago about that season as it happens and it was very clear though that he thinks that Alick was our greatest ever player.
Fantastic -Will order for my own pressie- will bring back so many memories! I was 15 at the time and remember sneaking out early from Wheatley High School to get to Waterdale for the Leon/Yorkshire Traction busses to away matches.I remember the 4-1 away win at Chester when a special train ran from Donny -perhaps Bob Gilfillan's best game for us that season-the wee man was unplayable! The overnighter on the Leon bus from Donny to Torquay to watch a 0-0 draw half pi**ed after under age drinking pints of scrumpy!If the photo attachment works that's me bottom right!Cant believe it's 64 years since I watched the Rovers lose 1-0 at Belle Vue to the dreaded Reading! Excited for tonight's match as ever COYR!
