Following the double dismissals of Cian Harries and Trevor Clarke at Colchester United last night. They became the 32nd pair to be red carded.
Trevor Challis had joined team mates on three occasions in having an early bath!

Whatever happened to those Rovers v City pre-season ‘friendlies’? They were great!
