So we stayed on after the training game hoping that our middle child might be able to get James belshaws autograph and maybe a high five . She had made out of Fimo clay a small lime green keepers jersey key ring for him. He seemed well chuffed and surprised to receive a gift and after a quick change he trotted back over the pitch and gave her his match worn top from today asking if it was a fair trade? What a legend and a lovely gesture. My 8 year old is still threatening to explode with joy now! Super super over chuffed

That's fabulous - certainly a day to remember for your daughter, lovely that she had made a gift for Belly and now has something to treasure herself. He's a real credit to the club, on and off the field

One of the nicest guys and best keepers we’ve ever had
Before the Scunthorpe game he took time to take photos with the lads behind the goal, still one of my lads most treasured memories of the day
Little things make a big difference

Super super over chuffed Belshaw is an absolute gent and you can tell his affection for the fans is completely genuine… fantastic keeper and fantastic guy and is extremely worthy of his fans hero status….. Amazing experience for your daughter and my 9 year old daughter who has Belshaw as her favourite player and always try’s to talk to him and see him every game is now extremely jealous! 😂 |

Top man Belly! these kind of gestures make such a difference to fans young and old, remember taking Grand kids to old Trafford for England game hoping to get some autographs, no chance , fans kept miles back ,coach pulled in to entrance doors , did not even get a glimpse of players, not blaming players most of whom I'm sure would oblige the young fans, just the way they are herded around by so called security and the like.

Actions like this make a difference to any young child, something she’ll always remember. James Belshaw seems to be one of those players who gives time and quickly became a fans favourite because he’s such a good character who probably knows that by giving time and respect to others he gets it back in trumps. Well done him! Creating himself a real place in Rovers recent history. UTG! |

Players who’ve come up from the conference always seem to be a lot more grounded and get the fans.

Makes me so proud of our club when you hear of these events regarding the players that Don our colours.
I'm so made up for your daughter' Belly taking the time out to retrieve his match worn Jersey as a trade/Swap...... I won't lie it brought tears to my eyes.
That's a beautiful event, god bless your daughter x

All of the guys doing the autographs and photos where an absolute credit! Very polite , humble and patient it was absolutely smashing. She’s still wearing it but having just finished work I’m trying to rouse the troops to go to clevedon marine lake so she’s gonna have to change or it will get vaporised. So chuffed to be a gas head!
