NAME THAT TEAM - Bristol Rovers (a) 1975

Recommended Posts

In some ways it reminds me of the current side, powerful up front, but with a team of grafters behind. We had an experienced world class keeper, rather than a potential world class keeper. Fullbacks were not the greatest to have played for the side, and the midfield on that day were much like now - no Hoolahan equivalent, but players who would scrap all day. Two centre halfs who weren''t certain they were first choice - one experienced one less so. Some went on to be stalwarts - much like some of the current crop can be.

The front two were one of the most deadly combinbations I''ve seen at City, but the difference between that side and the current one was that there was a greater goal threat  from midfield. Oh and one centre half who wasn''t sure if he wanted to be a man or a woman (allegedly!).
