[Archived] More Rovers Trivia

[Florida Rover]

Since WWII,Rovers have had 10 defenders who score 10 or more goals in their careers(cup and league play).See if you can name them.(Some long forgotten names on this list)

No clues yet.If you are stumped I'll offer some.

[grizfoot]

I can only think of Colin Hendry in recent times. Looked up a few others who I thought might have had ten goals or more but to no avail.

[Florida Rover]

Aye,Big Col is first of defenders scoring on the list having played in 408 matches and scoring 35 times.Now for the next nine!

[AggyBlue]

Kevin Hird?

Glen Keeley. Mike England. Derek Fazackerley.

John Waddington?

[MCMC1875]

Bill Eckersley

Jim Branagan

Mike Rathbone

[Ray-Von]

Chris Price?

[MCMC1875]

Henning Berg

[Exiled in Toronto]

Dick Mulvaney?

Brian Conlon? - although he switched to playing up front (allegedly)

Billy Wilson

[Ozz]

Le Saux?

[1864roverite]

John Waddington was a healthy goalscorer from Centre back.

Derek Fazackerley also chipped in.

Graham Oates was another defender who scored 10 goals in blue and white.

Colin Hendry.

Chris Price.

Kevin Hird.

Glenn Keeley.

[Shabani]

Craig Short used to score quite a few

[Amo]

Henning Berg

Craig Short used to score quite a few

Berg & Short only scored seven and four times for Rovers, respectively.

[broadsword]

Chris Price will definitely be up there, as will Faz.

[mellison24]

Keith Newton? (my dad reckons that anyway lol. i wud only know big col cos i'm 17 lol)

[RevidgeBlue]

Not looked it up, but presuming Ronnie Clayton must be one?

Edit: Super Atko as well?

[1864roverite]

Super Atko 35 goals for Rovers in all

wow didnt really think he scored that many !

Newton scored 10 goals at Ewood.

[Mafioso]

Chris Samba has quite a good record 6 in around 70 something games, and even though he only scored 3 Markus Babbel was also dangerous considering he scored them in 25 or so, games.

Stephen Warnock looks like he's soon on his way to double figures aswell. I think you should consider players dont make 300+ appearances for Rovers (or most clubs for that matter) anymore !

[Presty On Tour]

Kevin Moran scored exactly 10 goals for the Rovers.

I thought Le Saux would of been on the list too but he only managed 7.

He scored two of them VS Boro' if I remember rightly in one game. Boxing day it was, scored a last minute equaliser.

[bazza]

Bill Eckersley must have scored a lot more than 10 because he used to take all the penalty kicks.

Matt Woods? Probably close on ten if we include own goals.

[Hasta]

David Mail took a couple of penalties. Doubt he got 10 though.

[Exiled in Toronto]

David Mail took a couple of penalties. Doubt he got 10 though.

We're still waiting for one of them to come down

[Dave S]

I think Bob Crompton must be one of them. He played well over 500 games so a good chance of hitting double figures.

[AggyBlue]

Ken Knighton?

[DP]

Crompton did well playing on after WWII.......

Been going since 84 and I can think of

Faz (took pens)

Moran

Hendry

maybe Mail (also took pens), not sure about Keeley. Certainly wouldn't class Atkins as a defender either.

I would assume long standing players such as Clayton would have got 10+ but then pure guesswork from me there.

Our poor quality set pieces clearly being highlighted over the past 10 - 15 years.
