I'm going to get in before Mike Delap. I can't think of many who played for both clubs.

Albert Nightingale and David Batty. Not sure if Jason Wilcox also went there. Duncan McKenzie?

Paul Robinson, Diouf & I suppose we can include Poveda.

Marcus Antonsson. Was only a loan but actually played twice as many games for us as for them. Currently plying his trade for Western Sydney Wanderers btw.

[Dreams of 1995]

Marcus Antonsson was fantastic for us........for about 5 weeks

But what a great 5 weeks it was

[MarkBRFC]

Potential to get a pasting here.

Rovers 0 Leeds 3

Niall Ennis - small knock, back soon? 

What do you mean back??

Has he ever been available?

[philipl]

Leeds are vulnerable at the back.

Their star players are excellent but the rest are ropey.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

One for the old timers - Chris Crowe. Bought as a replacement for Roy Vernon. Not fit to lace his boots unfortunately. We sold him at a loss to Wolves and he ended up getting an England cap !

I heard a story years ago that Rovers wanted Gary McAllister from Leeds. Howard Wilkinson said no, so Rovers came back with "how about Batty then?" They said yes and I'm glad that they did. He was superb for Rovers. He won player of the season ahead of Shearer. He spent most of the title season injured. Then left for Newcastle not too long after.

Having a punch up with police dogs outside the DE last time I saw them here.

They do seem to have a larger caveman population in their fanbase than most.
Something in the water over in Yorkshire, all of the South Yorkshire teams are much the same, even in 2023.

However, more importantly, the match.
It's a game we should logically lose; plenty of injuries, beaten by the bottom side at the weekend and Leeds have a decent team for this level.

So a 2-0 home win then, in typical Rovers fashion.

This reputation that Leeds have, is it justified? Or is this just a bunch of pissed up lads givin it the big un and a few fist fights?

There is a lot of vilification of football fans. It's all fine and dandy to wage illegal wars and commit genocide, but give someone a slap on a Saturday afternoon and you're the scum of the earth.

Anyway, Rovers 2-1 LEYDZ

Got attacked by a load of Leeds fans 20 years ago after a game at Ewood.  Scum of the earth

Walking down LBR before the last encounter and loads of their not so young urban inbreds singing the Jack Walker song that their 6 fingered country cousins from the Lancs/Yorks border sing.

Sums them up although i do remember these games used to get a bit tasty back in the day.

Only my fourth ever game my dad said to me I could pick a game Leeds or Sheffield Wednesday, I picked Leeds and we lost 4-3 and as am sure you all remember the other game we won 7-2. I’m still angry about that now 😂
