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

Some players just seems to hit it off everywhere. Who can ever forget his perfect cross that MGP volleyed in.

1975, CHAMPIONS!

Note Derek Keighley in the background, his son is one of US.

I'm in the melee somewhere, can you spot yourself?.....

I was chatting to Gordon Lee's son the other day. Gordon is still alive and well into his late 80s and itching to get on the golf course. He has very fond memories of his time at Rovers.

I was on the Riverside that night. I had to leave at the final whistle to catch my last bus home.

It still irks me that Mowbray thought scenes like this weren't worth playing for and the title of " Champions " wasn't worth trying for.

I knew then he wasn't the man to lead my team into the future.

Yep it crossed my mind then too, although to be fair it took another 12 months before I had decided for definite that he wasn't the right man.

It might have only been the third division, but unless you are one of the elite clubs, how many times do you get to see your team win a league title? It should have been pursued and cherished.

my thoughts exactly, should have annihilated league 1 by 10/15 points,we had by far the best squad in the division,we played with the choke in though all season,i first started to have doubts when pne beat us 4-1 and we looked completely unprepared,the final straw was at huddersfield christmas 2019,bullied off the park by a limited but determined side and we did nothing to try and match them,there is nothing more annoying to a fan as lack of effort,both player and manager have been guilty of both,multiple times
