Without doubt, better to have tasted the riches. For me personally Venkys changed the way I saw Rovers. It shouldn’t have done, but it did. Things they can never do though. They can’t take away t

Rovers fans have a lot to be thankful to Bill Fox for. An often forgotten figure in our ascendancy but the man who laid the foundations. While the rest of our traditional rivals were applying for re-e

We’d have been better off with Charles Dickens...big things expected of him...

And we all literally had hard times with Dickens in goal........

Great goals. If allowed 12, Shearer's swivel and strike at Liverpool which Jan Molby described on 5Live as "fuck me" and Le Saux's screamer for the 7th against Forest but there were so many fantastic goals.

No place in there for strikes by Sutton, Santa Cruz, Cole or Macarthy either...

Anybody remember this fella' playing up front with Stevie Kindon for t'clarettes?!

"It's hard to smile when you're 3-0 down

The Rovers giving you the run around

It's hard enough when We're away 

But not at Burnley on a  Boxing Day"!

-Where were you on 26th December 1977? Longside, Bee-Hole End, Cricket Field Stand or Bob Lord Stand?

What a bloody good day that was, if not a bit of a nail biter towards the end!

"Rovers here, Rovers there, Rovers every f*cking where, na, na, nana, nana, na, nah!!!!"

DR, I was there. Got there late and they put us behind the goal.

A flyer was handed out at the next home game with the song lyrics (I've still got the flyer somewhere)

Sung to the Tune of 'The Floral Dance' (I kid you not)

'I thought I heard the curious tone 

of the Burnley fans as they start to moan.

Hard to smile when you're three goals down

Rovers giving you the run around.

Sometimes It's hard to win away

but not at Burnley on a Boxing Day.

 

Merry Xmas All

This counts as nostalgia now I think. 

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. 

Did we REALLY realise what we had?

I was right in line with that goal at the Anfield Road end and I agree, it was an unbelievably sweet strike on the turn, right in the postage stamp.

Of all the thunderbolts in that top ten, my favourite of that crop was the Bellamy goal at Portsmouth. Very few players could have scored that goal.

Many of us certainly did, den, and that’s why panic set in with us very quickly when this lot got hold of this fantastic club...

Memories not what it was regarding the lyrics but you got my drift!

I was one of the 'lucky few' jammed into the Longside: couldn't move to dodge the flying pints, darts and even excrement in a beer glass that were hurled back and forth over the fence! Same fence that Celtic fans ripped up a few years later and hurled it at the fleeing Dingles running into The Bee-Hole End!

Great days, if not a little scary at times, hard to believe that day was 43 years ago! If only Keith Fear and notched with the penalty just after half time, it could have been a rout.

Young 'uns these days haven't a clue what it was like back then; utter carnage on occasions.

I think so too oldjamfan. It never at any point looked like he could possibly score, until he did. Absolutely brilliant.

Feck me, that's embarrassing! in mitigation, it was early in the day, I was up and about at 4.30am and posted that over a brew before I got cracking for the day.

Cheers OJF, all the best to you and yours.
