David Goodwillie

Great to meet another old'un!! I'd forgotten about the polio delay but I do remember queuing up at Darwen clinic to get my sugar lump. Duggy kept us in Div 1 when the good players had gone and we had other people's leftovers (Walt Joyce..?). The good news is that Sir Bryan is still healthy and on this planet with us. Thanks Duggy and stay well for many years to come.

Evening chaps, here have some Werthers...

Sorry Pie, I don't get that. Let's hear your memories as there is precious little to cheer about right now mate!

Sweets for the old uns

One of my earliest was the Christmas stuffing of Burnleh in 1982, the dizzy heights of Div 2

werthers smoke thurrs fire?!

Ah yes stuffed Turkey Moor, very tasty (BTW where's Florida Claret these days..?)

Eh up our Duggy, glad to see you are still posting, yes the infamous lets play England at centre forward, nowt to lose.
I remember him clattering into Blacklaw and knocking him out, fighting in lumps all over ground and Rovers running out very worthy winners. Now do you remember the return match at Ewood at New Year? lesson dished out to you lot.
Both teams had some great players and to those that were fortunate to see them we will always have our memories and great moments.
Cheers and best for the rest.

I also remmember rovers burnley we was leading 2-0 and it ended 2-2 on a boxing or new years day it was a real corker end to end stuff.Aye pass me the Werthers Mr Pie.

The match I am referring to was 2 - 0 to the Clarets, Morgan tormented Rovers all afternoon.
Would prefer Victory V's miself

These things go round in cycles,I remmember in the late sixties and seventies your lot was top dogs and we were languishing in div3 and 2,lately we have been top dogs swings and roundabouts.

Grand nostalgia here lads, yes Willie Morgan was a bit on the good side, used to torment K Newton who wasn't a slouch. I also liked Willie Irvine in your 60's side, strong and fast, he'd be worth a fortune today but unless I am mistaken I think he ended up in a sad life. Then there came Steve Kindon, what would he be be worth today? Thanks for the note all the best this season.
