I wondered whether Leonard meant Neil Ruddock, who was pals with Shearer for sure.

Yes i believe he used to socialise with the Rovers lads a lot.

Very good player. One of my Favourite Rovers player in the 90's

[AllRoverAsia]

I recall this most vividly. The winner at Anfield with a great strike.

I can't get into the above post to edit, it often happens ???

Anyway Newells header looked damn close to being a goal in '93 and still does

What a team that was still marvel at the organisation and sheer graft of them week in week out all this time later.

Rock solid foundations, square pegs in square holes and a platform for the flair and quality to play to its strengths.

You are correct Lenny. After the celebration game the evening after the title win I was invited into the Premier Suite where the party carried on. Ruddock was in there and as drunk as the rest. He was celebrating like he played for us.

He’s also in our dressing room in some of the celebration clips from Anfield.

Bloody loved that goal AllRoverAsia - one of my faves.

Simon Jordan didn't think much of Newell though several people don't think much of Simon Jordan.

I was reading an excerpt from Graeme Le Sauxs autobiography and he is quite critical of Mike Newell among others for during the 95/96 season.

it made me wonder what are people’s opinions of Mike Newell? 
 

Thanks 

What was Le Saux critical of?

Don't know, but one way to break the unity of your team is to start swinging punches at your team mate live on national tv.
