Also played with Haggis as we knew him back then, along with another local lad couple of streets away, Jeff Whalley who I think made two appearance, he moved to Australia playing over there, returned maybe 20yrs ago and ran a paper shop in Oswadtwistle.

Miles Anderson?..... We'd have been better served if he'd disappeared first.

Odd that about Bradford. Apparently he could do stuff in training that other players could only dream of but somehow couldn't recreate it enough to matter on match days. Still didn't stop him managing to play with and against some seriously good (albeit aged) players in the NASL for a few years.

Funnily enough that's just what Mowbray keeps telling anyone who'll listen about Ben Gladwin :joy:

Over Christmas, bit of a coincidence, I came across one of the players mentioned previously Haggis, after joining him on FB looking at his pics I noticed another lad who I had played with and who also was on Rovers books, if I remember correct he was a full back, possible CH. Anyone spot him.

Sorry I don't recognise anybody on there I'm afraid.

Not sure he made the first team in any case. Ian Wilcox FR 2nd from left. David Hargreaves (Haggis) 2nd from Right FR. :)

Isn't FR Dave Eastwood? GK 'Slatts' and I think FL might be Tez Nuttall.
My mate who played at that time would name em all. Amazing memory for players that he'd played both with and against.
