Always love bringing this one up .....and another year has passed.
Don Roger's debut on November 4th at home against Everton.
I can still remember it as though it was yesterday.
On 23 minutes, Rogers broke away from inside his own half, racing onto a through ball from John Craven, as England fullback Henry Newton chased in vain, Don coolly chipped Everton goalkeeper David Lawson into the Whitehorse Lane goal.
Is it really 46 years. I remember so much about the day ….. my 8 mates and I as 12 year old cycled the 4 miles or so to play football against a local village, Ampney Crucis.
It was a horrible, cold freezing grey day.
I played in goal and had the radio next to one of the “jumper for goalposts”, listening for updates ......
I even remember stopping on the cycle ride back for a drink of orange squash …….. halcyon days indeed ........
