An old tale that.

I know but it still makes for good reading. What if eh?

I think we were offered Zidane and Christoph Dugarry wasn’t it?

Seems to have gone under the radar a little
Well done Rovers on getting long term contracts signed by Sammi, Pickering and Adam Wharton recently

If nothing else it should get us a realistic fee if we are having to sell any of them

Quite simply brilliant news. Well done to Greg Broughton and of course the players for signing. I am made up with this.

Just came across this rather grainy video of Grimsby v Rovers under Howard Kendall from MOTD. How footballing conditions have changed!

What a fantastic find. Great Rovers defending and a brilliant Noel Brotherston in that footage.

No wonder the pitchwas a shit heap with all those supporters running on.
Pitch technology has come in in leaps and bounds since those days. Imagine passing out from the back in those days!

Great point Drog that football tactics and strategy are definitely dependent on advances in soil science. I think even Man City would struggle on that pitch! Mind you I doubt the game would have gone ahead these days
