They also gave the player with the longest name but I’ve forgotten that… also I just looked up Ian Ure on Wikipedia and he was actually John Francombe ‘Ian’ Ure. He might have succeeded Alex Ferguson as Manager of East Stirlingshire though.
Quite notable (to a trivia dullard like me, at least), therefore, that you have had Sam Moa and Tex Hoy within a few years of each other.
We also had Setaimata Sa around 2014-15. Presumably you still had to pay full price for his name on your shirt.

Love it though. I cannot fail to hide my excitement. A full blown Smailes and Boon piece… but on a Rovers figure rather than Pearson. I never thought I’d see the day. I haven’t even read about Pearson looking out wistfully but with enthusiasm across the verdant fields of Hull FCs training grounds in years. Truly, this must be a different dimension.
