Quite impressive that list!

Interesting to note that the guy at the top of that list was a dingle.

There are also a few early managers missing off that list according to other sources:

Thomas Mitchell:1884–1896
Joseph Warmsley: 1896–1903
Robert Middleton: 1903–1925

They aren't on the Rovers website for some reason.

That dog is better looked after than Mrs Pie!

Rover has just finished his chocolate digestive off and his coffee.He his now asleep in his doggie basket.

Chocolate isn't good for dogs!

In small doses it is not bad.same with beer and ice cream but I spoil him and Rover is not overweight or anything.Mostly I break a piece off, or a couple of teaspoons of beer.So he gets nothing in excess,hes just a happy Rover.
