Scott Sellars.  Brilliant. I'd forgotten how good he was.

He was my fave as a youth...

A nice touch that staff from the club went over to lay flowers.

What a fantastic day that was. Was watching two sky screens in different rooms as I stood in my hallway so could see Liverpool v Rovers and West Ham v United as it was happening.

Hearing the roar from Rovers fans on the video as defeat turns into Premier League Champions brings a tear to my eye too.

Found this little gem on t'internet. And I don't mean Ronnie Hildersley. Haven't watched it all but there is a bit of Garner magic at about 55 minutes. Foot like a traction engine. 'Ave it son! £49.5m in todays transfer market...at least.

We lost 2-1. Goal in the last few minutes from Luther Blissett. We were top at the time. Them were the days....

The signing of Archibald, with highlights of that 3-2 Villa game.

Saw him on a La Liga panel show recently. I didn't recognise him. He looked about a hundred years old!
