Oh no! Another of my all-time heroes gone. Thanks for the memories Mike---there are many of them.

Brilliant on his day and with an 'attitude'

He's in my top 10 'likes' of Rovers players in my time.

I will never forget the bucket kit at Ewood in the loss to Coventry

One of my boyhood heroes.  A maverick for sure, but a wonderful footballer who could really excite you.  One part of the most exciting forward line that I've ever seen play in 'Blue and White.'

Thanks for some wonderful memories.

RIP Fergie

Yet another Rovers legend has passed over. He was one of my favourite players, mainly due to him being a real “one off” player. So unpredictable, yet brilliant on his day. RIP, Fergie, he’s off to join a great bunch of former players in football heaven.

I think the 5-man forward line of Ferguson, McEvoy, Pickering, Douglas, Harrison was the best and most exciting I've ever seen. I was around 20 years old at the time.

Maybe it's nostalgia but (for me) it beats Ripley, Sherwood, Shearer, Sutton, Wilcox.

Then again...............maybe not. Different era. Different pace.

R.I.P. Mike.

I saw that forward line in my first ever live game at Ewood, in what is reputed to be the best ever Rovers performance, v the mighty Spurs.

I think it indeed was a top lineup with goals and assists from all across the line.

I'm shocked and saddened. One of my all time favourite Rovers players.

Fergie was worshipped on the Ewood terraces as much as Duggie. Wonderful skill, a great player to watch.

RIP Fergie, and thank you

"Fergie for England" we used to shout from the terraces but we never got our wish, although he was so frustratingly inconsistent that it was never really going to happen. Utterly brilliant on his good days though.

One of my all time favourites.

Tremendously skilled and on his day, a top class act. 

A player with an edge and an aggression - could, and frequently did, mix it with anyone.

Just loved his directness and the way he attacked the defender(s) with the ball.

Thanks for the memories Fergie and R.I.P.
