    Plainly put if Sean Connor hadnt come to the club we would still be in the First Division , He helped bring a lot of good players to the club who possibly wouldnt have joined if not for his enthusiasm . Sean has proven his worth to us many times over and is a great manager and we are lucky to have him.

    nearly all of his signings have been brilliant! O'Grady, Low, Flannery, Burns, Kudozovic, O'Hara etc.
    he probably deserves it!

    Delighted for Gary, he won the readers award as voted by the general public, so he and his family can be very proud

    And yes, he has the ability and work ethic to be a top striker for rovers, if certain people dont mess it up with overinflated egos!
