We had our Former Players Dinner last night. See how many former players you can name of the 29 in the photo below. BTW - Our next event is a Golf Day on Wed 13th June at the Kendleshire. With the generous sponsorship of Blue Blood Syndications we've been able to reduce the price significantly, and also offer evening tickets at little more than cost price (£20). So non-golfers can rock up for food and frolics. A lot of former players will be around, and a lot of them play golf (I've been staggered by how many do, including ones you don't expect) Fill yer boots! Full details are HERE |

A little help on the left hand side - 1 = James Brown - he was the kit man for a while - Knows Dave Pritchard well and they came over from Spain together, bless 'em. 2 = Devinder Singh - Young player who never made a first team appearance, but has always been very complimentary to Rovers, and Bobby Gould, for giving him a chance. Includes 10 members of the 1989/90 Third Division Champions squad. We hope to get them all together (except the two abroad!) later this year...  |

Good shout. I think the white haired guy next to Peter Aitken (in front) is Tom Stanton and extreme right of pic isn't Punky but Graham Day. |

Sorry Guys, it has been a whirlwind for several months at BRFPA. Dinner on Thursday. Then quite a few players staying for Tote End Reunion and then last home game (Jocky, Christian McLean & Pitbull wee hosted by us / Joner / the club). And now back onto it with the Golf Day on 13th June.
Most of the above are right but I'll answer them and then give the full line-up...

Most of those were right but Punky had to pull out shortly before the event with illness.  |

Also, Geoff twentyman broadcast his weekly 'Having a gas' show live from the Dinner (well, just before it started technically...). Can listen again here - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p063cp6gIt is a really good listen. We arranged for several players to come a little early to talk with him. The interview line-up was approx... 6.05-6.20 Bobby Gould Tony Mills - BRFPA Chair Martin Thomas
6.20-6.30 Gary Smart David Pritchard 6.35-6.50 Andy Tillson Andy Reece 6.50-7.00 Ian Hazel Pete Cawley Christian McCLean |
