Pretty sure, back in the seventies, the kit man used to wash the kit with Ajax.

The only relation between Bristol and Ajax is the army fighting vehicle delivered by MOD...

I do we believe we played the dutch national team in a friendly before world war two. There is a cigarette card which commemorates the occasion.

Our academy also visited Ajax in 2016. I believe at one time our scout, Richard Everson, had contacts at Ajax and we were invited to tournaments but couldn't afford to send teams (may be mixed up on that last bit, happy to be corrected) |

I believe at one time our scout, Richard Everson, had contacts at Ajax and we were invited to tournaments but couldn't afford to send teams (may be mixed up on that last bit, happy to be corrected) Everson was class and served as Chief Scout under Holloway. He was formerly a scout in this region for Norwich City and responsible for many talented players in the South West going to Norwich. Interestingly, Rovers hosted an international tournament recently featuring the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Sporting Lisbon, as well as a host of Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Everton, West Ham, Southampton and Cardiff City to name just a few of the 20 clubs who took part from across England and Europe. www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2019/april/academy-tournament/ |
