Reading the Geoff Bradford book today there was reference to Bert Tann, the then, Manager who had some Rovers games filmed for revue with the Team much the same as occurs now. There was a photograph of Tann and the Players gathered around the projector. My question is directed towards Harry buckle or others, who with connections to the Club's history may be able to find out if these films still exist. It would be amazing if we had access to more of that great team than is currently available.

Our best ever game v Man Utd's Busby Babes was shown on BBC, but apparently the film was destroyed some time after.
