[Archived] Players Who Came Back

[Alan75]

With transfer gossip linking us with old boy James Beattie, I was trying to remember players who made a successful return to Rovers.

Off the top of my head.

David Dunn and Colin Hendry are the only players I can think of, that have made a success on their return as players and Mark Hughes who returned as Manager.

I remember Dave Wagstaff coming back but his return wasnt a real success.

That's about it for me to.

I may have been in the minority but I would have liked Duff back in the summer, he's proved the doubters wrong at Fulham.

Dear oh dear guys! HENNING BERG! Fred Pickering left it too late!

Jesus!! how could we forget Henning, must have been in the sun to long.

I know its off topic but i was surprised to find out that Peter Crouch actually started his career at Tottenham.

Also I think players like Keith Gillespie and Andy Todd should be given credit as they left the club on-loan when it looked like their Rovers career would be over and came back and played big parts, the following period.

You have missed John Byrom and has the legend that is Colin Hendry there?

I remember Pickering's comeback. He'd acquired a big stomach and wasn't really fit.

Not even close to being successful but Henchoz made a return to us.

That was a strange one.

Are you referring to LANGTON?

Sorry just Mimms

BEAMISH.....as the half-time guy. He was better than that apprentice lad and the annoying squealing 10 year old girl we now have. Beamish is still at the club in a commercial capacity ain't he? A good example of a footballer with half a brain too.

Stuart Metcalfe

Got us on plenty of blooper videos when he came back.

I was told years ago that in the 50's and 60's the club had an unofficial policy that anyone who had left would not be taken back. One or two companies I worked for had a similar policy. Pickering was the first player to breach that rule. I was going to say that he was a shadow of his former self when he came back. Not strictly true.

Bring back Hughes as manager, get in Bentley on loan and Roque on loan.
