That's good team from your time except that Birks and Charles would both have been sent off by half time if they had to deal with Brookes and Leonard.

Avenalaf - i never had the pleasure of watching armstrong in action but i have spoken to many old timers about armstrong and all agree he was indeed a very skillful player but the other comment that was common to the discussion was that he tended to go missing from games if the going got tough or he wasnt getting much joy from his oppposite number he dissappeared from games. Some made disparaging comments that he wasnt that brave in a game - and whilst i disagree with most of that as he has a great record for rovers and that shouldnt be tarnished but harry was brave, very brave and in a woeful team! But as i havent seen armstrong i will have to take your word for it.
Bomber Savage was and still is class
I'm a massive fan of Turners but he deffinatly is not one of the greatest. It would have taken him another season or two to become one of the greats.Quote:

Oh, well, in that case, Mickey Kearins and Eamonn O'Hara.
since 1998 the best player iv seen at the showgrounds is padraig moran
Jesus, have the past nine years been as bad as that?
Cant think of many better striker than Padraig in that periodQuote:
