The Drifters - Up On The Roof

We didn’t, they did.

He lost me in the season after promotion. No ambition at all, just happy to be in a job.

Correct Aug 16th 1975 Score 1-1 Rovers Team that day - Jones Heaton, Hawkins, Fazackerley, Burgin Hird, Waddington, Oates Beamish, Hickman, Martin sub Hoy for Waddington. Beamish scored the Rovers goal in front of 6,054. i remember seeing Orient play at Ewood in their one and only season at the top level. They held the best Rovers team I’ve ever seen to a 1-1 draw. Their keeper, Mike Pinner, who was an England amateur player back in those days put in a 10/10:performance unfortunately.

Just a guess but I think so.

Unless things at the club change dramatically he’ll be replaced by an inferior player.

Peter Dobing, Matt Woods, Ken Taylor ?, Ronnie Clayton, Mick.

They don’t score many even in this very average league. How many will they score at top level ? If you don’t score you don’t win any games.

They should have got Eustace when they had the chance.

They can’t say they weren’t told.

They can be next seasons Ipswich or they can be next seasons Southampton, their choice.

Signing BBD was their master stroke.

Guyere turned him like a school boy at the dingledome. He was hanging onto Guyere like a cheap suit.

I didn’t even know we were playing. I thought it was a 7-45 KO. Nice to have a stress free afternoon in the boozer.

They’re very similar in style and demeanour. The goal I mentioned early that Mick scored at Old Trafford was very similar to Tronstad’s second effort on Saturday. I was stood at 90 degrees to the goals in line with the penalty spot. When Mick let fly I was expecting to see the ball fly past the post. Then it walloped into the stanchion at the back of the net.
