Stuart Alphonso Sinclair and Alvin Alphonso Bubb? if only. although Alvin Ryan Bubb does apparently hold the dubious distinction of being the 3rd shortest player ever to play for Rovers, and the certainly the shortest in the modern era. and didn;t score any goals for us. You are right though that the Alphonso's are in the recent-ish past. I didn't realise it was such a popular name in the 60's! OOps, just realised one is Alfonso and the other is Alphonso. slapped wrists. Who's the shortest and what height?

Now that can only be Laurence Valentine Lloyd, later of Liverpool and Notts Forest, but obviously never the player he was after leaving the Gas.
