4000Holes Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Very sorry to read about the passing of David Helliwell. Always thought that he had so much potential but playing at the time he did was probably too small to make an impact. RIP. 1 Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 I remember seeing him make his debut for Rovers and he really looked the part. A very skilful, clever player who was Bryan Douglas's understudy that day. He was about 5 ft 7 ins tall but about 9 stone wet through and he never really developed physically. Such a shame because he had plenty of ability. Quote
