A look back, but where is it?

[RoversDave]

and a very rare pic of one of our top centre forwards  

[bedale rover]

is it workington bob?

[deebee]

Is it Hartlepool or Darlingtons old ground. I know Slalom Larger is brewed in the north east and Scotland.

[deebee]

Correction It is brewed in Workington , Just googled it, So above post could be correct.

Workington it is, who's the number 9?

[Standanista]

That kit looks post-Workington era, more early '80s.  Still no clue whereabouts it is though.

[Standanista]

Is that Dougie at Nº6?

The No 6 looks like Duggie and the No3 is definitely Glynn, the No 7 is Pughie and that was taken in the early 80`s when Bremner was in charge, he introduced the green away kit

[Filo]

Is the No 9 Andy Kowalski?

[Standanista]

Just thinking, white shoulders on away kit came in about 1982-83 season so from since then.

Filo we're reading from the same programme, yes sir!

[not on facebook]

workington town now there is a blast from the past seem to have
a game against workington town at BV when rovers won 6-3 i recall.

saying that did workington get 3goals as me memory is shot to bits.sure rovers were playing in their all red strip with the white stipe down the arms.

all i can tell you about workington town is they was from the northwest region and they allways seemed to be in div4 and were near enough allways below rovers in that league.

All from memory mate, I have no programme

[Standanista]

That looks about right RoversDave, my only dubious one would be Animal in so late a lineup with Wiggington/Cawthorne.  Close to the Terry Cooper era also.

Same mate, mine are in a box somewhere I hope!

[RoversDave]

1982-3 was the season we went mad scoring.

the results in a run of 4 home games early in the season were

Exeter 6-1
Reading 7-5
Wigan 3-6
Brentford 4-4

The middle 2 were just 3 days apart, 21 goals  

[Standanista]

PS Pughie was a switch with Hudders for Tracey Austin - that would date it a bit more accurately.

[Standanista]

Didn't David Harle play for Exeter in that 6-1?

I put Little with a question mark as the way the results are listed number 7 was Robertson, but seeing as Animal scored it must have been him.

Can`t remember that, but I know Kerry Dixon scored 4 of the 5 Reading goals

[Standanista]

Correct yes.  I'd just started my Saturday job in Cuttriss's and missed that game, bugger.

Harle definitely played for Exeter in that 6-1 drubbing we handed out.

I've told it before, but its a good story.  You could see Harle was getting frustrated and embarrased in front of the Rovers crowd's hilarity.  Late in the game, Exeter brought some young kid on , and he soon had a throw in to take.  Harle showed for it, but the kid sailed it straight over his head.  It was one of those moments where the ground seems to fall silent for 5 minutes, and Harle bellowed at this poor kid, \"You fcuking useless cnut!\".  Everyone on the mainstand terrace heard it and then fell about laughing.  I was only 12 or 13 at the time and thought it was the best thing I'd ever heard a football utter!  Funny how these things stick in your mind

f**king hell! a talking football!

[Nudga]

Slightly off kilter but that green away top is the one that I wish we would go back to.

[not on facebook]

on that run of them games with laods of goals in the news cameras were at BV for the next game,dont recall who it was against only that either it was a 0-0 or donny lost 0-1

typical

[eastender]

Cheers RoversDave , I was stood right behind the goal at that game (the end from where the photo is taken).It was an Fa cup tie and Workington were non league by then.

I seem to remember both sets of fans had to enter the ground using the same turnstyles behind the away end.

[washyrover]

tracy austin LEGEND.

[Standanista]

That should have been an O-Level General Paper question:

\"Tracy Austin.  Cow's arse.  Banjo.  Discuss.\"
