G Somerset Rover Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for the memories Tugay - you have been my favourite player for the past 8 season's and we'll never have another player like you. My personal favourite memory was the strike against Southampton - if there hadn't been a net there the ball would probably still be travelling now.

Inta Beaver Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I am saying fair play because my previous post was saying what are the chances of both boots being caught by the same person! I don't believe it is correct to cash in on an occasion like this!
OhmiBRFC Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 No, it isn't fair play. If this traitor didn't want the boots, then why did they catch them? Exactly. I share the exact sentiments. When we played Reading on the last game of the season I caught one Matt Derbyshire's boots. Instead of trying to cash in on them I gave the boot to my younger brother who was at the game with me.

I don't believe it is correct to cash in on an occasion like this! I agree - it's not right to cash in like that. I hope nobody pays the asking price.
Mr. E Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Touching This moment hit me hard. Thank you, Toogs. Thank you very much.
roversnick Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I agree - it's not right to cash in like that. I hope nobody pays the asking price. im gonna bid on it so that nobody else can win but never pay up
Blackpool_Rover Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 That makes my blood boil. Absolutely disgusting.
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Why the hell would any Rovers fan want to sell his boots from his last game?..the momento should be one to keep for life surely. What a crying shame they fell into the hands of this dolloper!
thenodrog Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Still not fully sunk in with me that we won't see him again.
Majiball Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Still not fully sunk in with me that we won't see him again. But we will Theno, he'll be back after he's served his apprenticeship elsewhere.
Stuart Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Again - maybe they're NOT his boots. I'm with you Topman. Would he really have his name on the back in black marker??
T4E Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Of course they would, they will be hung up in the boot room presumably at times, identification would be important.
Stuart Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Of course they would, they will be hung up in the boot room presumably at times, identification would be important. Well I'm not buying it. Literally or metaphorically.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Of course they would, they will be hung up in the boot room presumably at times, identification would be important. Whenever I've seen them, they've had their names either printed/stitched on professionally or written underneath.
T4E Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Well I'm not buying it. Literally or metaphorically. For the record I'm not either, just explaining why that may be the case.
philipl Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Whenever I've seen them, they've had their names either printed/stitched on professionally or written underneath. Don't know about the Rovers but that is definitely the case at another club who are long term members of the PL. Heavy odds on the boots being a fraud. Out of interest, does the eBay ad give the boot size because I remember from a while back an LT article saying what size Tugs wears.

Nope - and the only picture that gives any sense of perspective is the one I've posted. Hard to say from that. Very disappointing either way. A proper Rovers fan would have donated them to charity if they were real. This seller is a scumbag. Some appears to have bid and the current bid is £600. Hopefully it's a sting and £1M bid has been placed on a dummy account.
mellison24 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I can say 3 things: 1. The boots are in the possession of my wee cousin. 2. They are not on ebay. 3. The boots on ebay are a fraud, as the REAL boots are autographed with a signature, not block letters.

Stuart Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 In what sense? I guess Topman is the real Sherlock. I was just Dr. Watson following up on his hunch. That would make you the Inspector Lestrade character. Confirming the facts after the case had been solved.
