30 years ago today…Leeds at Ewood

[MarkBRFC]

Ended up being played on the 1st Feb that Leeds game.

Artey the Badge! The original and best.

On the 15th February, Rovers play Plymouth Argyle at Ewood.

Coincidentally, that will be 50 years to the day since that famous 5-2 victory, which was the first Rovers game I ever went to. My dad dragged me down and sat me in the old Riverside stand. 

I can still remember it even now.

You pick your games ! One of the classics, along with the 7-2 demolition of the mighty Spurs.

To this day my favourite ever Rovers match. I was in the front row of the Nuttall St stand & Don Revie was in the visiting directors box right in front of me. Often wondered why…looking at Paul Mariner for England? 
if there was one match I’d love to have on video it would be this one.

Graham Oates, Graham Hawkins, Mike Hickman, The Don, Stuart Metcalfe bringing up the rear on the right. Could have been from a corner.

All that talk on the other thread about what constitutues a 'supporter'...

For the vast majority of the sofa watching Sky fraternity, they'll never experience anything like this. It's what it's all about, and in my case, this game hooked me for life.

Big ruck outside (sorry been drinking today) opposite the "new" Yates Wine Bar, outside the shop I used to buy Harringtons from. 

Can't remember the name yet?

Stone Dry?

Harringtons ! That’s a blast from the past. I’ve got a nice one made by “ Baracuta “ when they were still made in England. I just checked their site - £250 now !

I had 3, black, maroon and later a hounds tooth one, think the first on was about £30, 2 weeks of my apprentice wage 😁

My genuine Baracuta Harrington is canary yellow so as you can imagine I don’t wear it too often. I have several other ones by other makers like “ Fred Perry “,  “ Falconable “, etc. They are a very versatile jacket.

Mine reached the great bin in the sky several decades ago, sadly.

I've currently only got a Merc one.

Ben Sherman make a nice one also.

I could never afford a proper Baracuta one, maybe one day.

I couldn't, and there is one feels on the middle row whose identity wasn't revealed on the web page I downloaded this from

Poor old Marshall Burke & Paul Comstive mixed up…It’s not Mark Patterson next to Windy either…😆

[broadsword]

Blimey some there I've never heard of. Plus they got tp's name wrong. Can't trust anything these days
