Sherwood’s goal, Shearer was penalised for having a ‘hand on the shoulder’ as he headed it across.

I can still remember my dad turning to me to and saying ‘THEY won’t let us win the title’.

Ah, yes, it was Sherwood. I can remember as a kid feeling utterly robbed when that was disallowed - still pisses me off now, despite knowing how that season ended.

I didn't fancy creating a Yorkie thread, so seeing as he was Cole's strike partner for a while, I'll put his video in here.

If there are any others in the future, I'll put them in the Nostalgia thread.

Great to see Coley back at Brockhall reliving a couple of his famous Rovers goals here:

Is the other lad our current forward’s coach? - it would explain a lot 😁

Trinidad Rover loves this - he is still a legend back home. Along with the prince of Port of Spain (Brian Lara) our most famous sporting son.

Nice to see Cole come back and the lads having a laugh trying to recreate a couple of his famous goals. I presume he met JDT during this visit and if so, I can imagine how JDT might have felt.

Fantastic club, fantastic training ground, but the best striker to have set foot in the building all season is a 51 year old visitor. Andy, please stay! 

Have to admit, it was a bit embarrassing seeing Dack struggle to name a Rovers player from Cole's time at the club. He guessed at Henning Berg because he (Dack) is/was a United fan.

In fairness, Dack was 10 when Cole left.

Yeah, fair point.

He should definitely have known more then, you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of footballers when you are 10.

Not if you’re a United fan from Kent…

[Mattyblue]

He’d have been playing FIFA/Champ Manager 2003, wouldn’t he?

Shocking stuff from Dacky.

Cole seems quite intelligent.  Always thought he was a bit thick.  Also seems a nice guy who obviously has fond memories of rovers
