He'd (Stanley) just signed for Gateshead and although we lost you would never have thought it.

Clive Sullivan certainly DIDN'T join Rovers for any kind of payday....

Anthony Sullivan played his best rugby at St's and only had one full season of top flight rugby at Craven Park, Clark despite his injuries after 1985 was the scorer of some fantastic tries, two in successive JPS Semi's stand out, David Laws scored the greatest try ever by a Rovers player at the Boulevard in Oct '83...
Fairbairn
Clark
M Smith
Prohm
Laws

Dorahy
G Smith

Broadhurst
Watkinson
Niebling
Casey
Hogan
Miller

A cast of many, many talented players missed but with unlimited interchanges I'd be here all day.....

also Gavin Miller was top quality and i also liked Greg Austin, a real try scorer but he only played in the lower leagues for us before being released

The worst player i can think of was David Hoskins, the Aussie prop, utter tosh, he made Crossman look good lol
