[Archived] "impossible" Rovers- Question

[petter_rovers]

A few months back a fellow Rovers-supporter in Norway asked me a question, that he had the answer to. I did't. I have asked around for a long time now, but I CANNOT find the answer anywhere! Maybe you could help me!?

* Who is the last Blackburn-player who was ENGLISH, played in the DEFENCE, in the Premier League and was COLORED? NOT Marlon Broomes, as he never was a regular in the PL. He told me it was AFTER 94/95, but I'm not so sure...

I find this impossible... Anyone?

Richard Brown

He was sh***

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

Richard Brown

He was sh***

Pretty sure he wasn't a regular after 94/95 though ... only before.

And yes ... he was sheeeeeeeeeeeyite!

[Ray-Von]

He had a half-decent song based on the "Banana Splits" tune though........

[LDRover]

Chris Coleman. He's a tinge of beige.

[Fife Rover]

Chris Coleman. He's a tinge of beige.

Coleman is Welsh.

[LDRover]

Coleman is Welsh.

Oops yeah, sorry.

[bluebruce]

Coleman is Welsh.

Which doesn't really matter. Anyway the question doesn't say 'regular', so Broomes. Or with some fact fiddling, Reid might be 'Irish', but he's obviously English (Born in greater london, only qualifies for Ireland through grandparents, even represented England at junior levels). And he has played at full back for us, right?

How about Grayson

[SuperStella]

We've answered his question...... its RICHARD BROWN

Except a) Calm down and don't be so self righteous, and markatkinsbaldpatch reckons you're wrong, and I've an alternative slant on it which so far I don't see a fault with.

[Ray-Von]

If I remember rightly, Richard Brwon played in the game when we thumped Norwich 7-1 but didnt feature a great deal at all after that. Most of his games came in the promotion season at right back.

[Blakey]

in the Premier League and was COLORED? NOT Marlon Broomes

Pretty sure it's Marlon Broomes, I remember talking to him in a pub in Southampton just after we had played them and i am 99% sure he played that day, i think we drew 3-3, but i could be wrong.

[Ste B]

Its Micky GRAY ffs.

[AggyBlue]

Jason Brown

I think your friend meant 'coloured' literally. If so, it's michael GRAY, with the pun on his surname as it is phonetically identical with the colour 'GREY'. If however your friend meant 'coloured' as in coloured skin, then marlon broomes is probably your best bet.

Richard Brown

He was sh***

Racist

[McClarky]

I used to think Chris Coleman was black but I think he just spends a lot of time on a sunbed.If its not Broomes then its a trick question

[Jordan]

I think SteB has already answered the question.

[whittle blue]

How about Darren Peacock

[colin]

I think SteB has already answered the question.

Oooooh! SteB said "Gray" which is not a colour (except in the US where it is a variant spelling.) "Grey" is.

I'd go for Richard Brown who was both black and had a name the same as a colour. He was rubbish, but he did once score an absolute screamer for 30 yards. Darned if I can remember the game.

he missed with that screamer; it hit the crossbar I remember, he then fell to his knees in exasperation!

[MCMC1875]

Could have been Prenton Park 1992.

[whittle blue]

Remember, the question says AFTER 94/95.

Therefore, it can't be Richard Brown.

He played just 2 games in 92-93

[colin]

Mike Jackman has him scoring no goals with his time with us 1990 - 1995 so it's probably my imagination.
