[Archived] An Evening With Bobby Mimms

[Brownie]

Event at The Hordens Tuesday 10th Feb 2009

Following up on the great successes of the David Speedie and Matt Jansen evenings, we have another Rovers legend but this time one still currently with the Rovers.

Miimms was an integral part of the Jack Walker revolution, playing huge part in Rovers' promotion year under Kenny Dalglish and playing during the 1994/95 Premiership winning season.

Bobby was brought back to Blackburn by Paul Ince and is now a valued member of Sam Allardyce's backrrom team.

Do not miss the chance to question Mimms about the Premiership winning season and how life under Allardyce is different than under Ince.

Tickets as always are £5 and payment can be made by paypal to david.brownie@ukonline.co.uk or over the bar at The Hordens.

Thanks! Bit of a shame as i can`t make this one as i am on 2-10 shift ,i really would have liked to have gone.Ah well,i hope it`s a good night for you and hopefully i might be able to go to one of these do`s another time.

As Bobby is both currently connected to the club and has links to a previous generation of players there's a fantastic potential for fascinating insights into the club.

He must have lots of great tales about when he first joined as a player and the difference between now and then within the club (how it's run etc).

It surely wouldn't take a trained investigative journalist/Michael Parkinson to winkle out some stuff about Ince and his staff and how they related to the players (to confirm or deny some of the rumours) and the difference Allardyce has made at the club.

Certainly hoping to get to this one and Well Done to Brownie for these events!

could we ask Bobby to hold the mic up to his mouth ?

Go away you, with your bloody hot brandys !

[Bobby G]

Ask him to compare Bunn and Hennessy, as well as Robinson, and how they all match up...

[MCMC1875]

Was he the one who caught the coach to away games at the junction of the M62/A1?

[Ste B]

Might have had a chance hearing if we didnt have people chuntering on about how "bloody hot it is"

Can we ask him to be careful he doesn't drop the mike ?

I think we'd hear Mimmsy without a mike and standing in the smoking shelter !

Apparently. according to Andy Bayes, he's hilarious. Could be the best one yet and possibly the most interesting with reference to Ince and Allardyce.

[Ste B]

Was not a dig your way, more at Mac who was one of those chuntering away.

Intend to be there again for this.

[Blue n White Rover]

MAybe you could ask him the difference in the training regimes between Big Sam and Ince. What the players have done differently and the quality between the two managers?

Board members should all wear their user names so we can identify each other.

Have no idea what you look like, nor u me. It would just be nice to see the faces behind the posts.

[bazza]

I'll get "bazza" stamped on my forehead, then; or on my bald head and walk round looking at my shoes.

1. Greatest Rovers memory?

2. Worst memory?

3. What was it like under Jack Walker, and do you have any fond memories of him?

4. How was it like on the last day at Anfield winning the title and what you remember from the day?

5. Plans for the future?

Hope they help

Keepers dont appear to be able to catch the ball as much these days and tend to punch

Is this due lightweight balls, (not the keepers) modern day gloves or the lack of ability.

Is the game developing into a non physical sport - are keepers over protected these days.

who was your biggest influence in becoming a keeper.

There's a few names on the questions list that don't post any more. Where are they?

[tonyoz]

1) Was Ince really that bad?

2) How do you weigh up the choices:

sitting on the bench earning a comfortable wage - or leaving for a less successful club but playing every week?

3) How do you know when you have found a new goalkeeping gem? Who is the best young goalkeeper around at the moment?

and what about a Youtube-type record of the event so that far flung supporters can enjoy it?

[Brownie]

Thanks everyone, some really good questions there.

Hope a few of you are going to attend the event, I cant always guarantee Box Office names !

1) Was Ince really that bad?

I can't see him making any controversial remarks about the guy who hired him. You'll probably get a generic "He was great with the lads, but it didn't work out for him" reply.

[Brownie]

7 days to go.

More questions required please.

Anything about Rocky, Ince, Sam, Diouf ??
