We lost 1-0 at home to QPR in the Championship on 19 March 2011.
George Best.He was a Man Utd player at the time so qualifies as an opposition player.He played for us against the reigning First Division champions, Liverpool, in the John Nicholson Testimonial Match.If my memory is correct, he scored a couple of goals that day too.
Too many to mention but one player who terrorised all opponents was Robin Friday. Off the scale.
Rovers played an invitation team at BV in somebody's testimonial very roughly about 30 years ago. A young Gazza was one of those invited. Nobody, including me, had ever heard oif him. Jesus H.....!And in Aleck Jeffrey's testimonial at BV Bobby Charlton played. He was slightly good too.....In competitive matches, Kevin Keegan stands out. I don't know how such a dwarf could jump so staggeringly high. An intelligent none stop action man.BobG
I remember Ferrie Bodde absolutely dominating us for Swansea, he seemed to disappear not long after that but that night he seemed magical.
I remember us being1-0 up against Swansea and TV Rangel Angel equalising in the last minute to nick a point. I think we would have gone fourth or something like that had we won.

Kevin Nolan when we played WHU at Keepmoat. He took us apart if I remember correctly. They won 1 nil

He scored directly from a corner
When John Nicholson was killed in 1966, John Wylie had to stand in at centre half. He did well in a 0-0 draw at Brighton, but we then got murdered 0-4 at home to Darlington.The Darlo centre forward was Bobby Cummings, who scored a hat trick and gave Wylie a torrid time all night.

Ian Harte for corners

I don't know if the rent was for his old house.He played for Port Vale before us so Stoke is very close to Burslem.
