Down the years Rovers have had star players, a lot of them going on to be internationals which could form a role of honour, able to step in to any premier league team, but to me the cult heros are those that when the ball got near to them you expected something special, the ones that had you antisipating something special from.
Glen Keeley, not the most gifted of players but oh the gasps of anguish when he went in for the ball. He got the ball 9 times out of ten, And 5 times out of 10 he also got the man. Yet I wouldnt have called him a dirty player, he was just a no frills player, determined to give his all, if not always controlled.
Those chants at every corner when he charged up the field like some rampant rhino. Keeley Keeeley He never took any prisoners and the saying was that the club fed him raw meat before each game.
Duncan Mckensie(spell check) One of the most gifted and athletic players in my years of watching Rovers. Always expected the unexpexted from him. on his day he was magic and could create things from nothing, unfortunately he could also go missing for whole games. I think his biggest weakness being he enjoyed playing football and wanted to entertain forgetting that there were another 10 team mates on the field.
Noel BrotherstonOld fashioned winger, crazy hair style who used to get to the bye line and whip the ball into the middle. Always exciting when he was on a run with his dribbling inside the full back, whether he would have had the same impact at a higher level we will never know.
