As for Burnley, well, ruined by an ego - the Butcher Boy, but I did watch them play in the European Cup against Hamburg - and they won, back in the late '50s long before Rovers played in the European Cup.
At the end of the day, it all comes around that goes around. Mancie has been there since the '70s, for me it was Coleman, Edwards, Taylor and the like that caught my imagination - and my unswerving loyalty.
Each of us to his own, let us continue to enjoy the banter and most of all enjoy the football  |
All you plastic Mancs keep intimating the Rovers bought the title in 95 well considering United usually plunge about £50 into the transfer market every season seems like they have been doing the same for years.
Lets just look at the 92/3 at a few players that brought back the glory years to the theatre of merchandising inaugural Premier league season
Peter Schmeichel Bought from Bromby
Paul Parker, from Fulham
Paul Ince West Ham
Denis Irwin Leeds
Andrei Kanchelskis Dynamo Kyiv
Gary Pallister Middlesbrough
Steve Bruce Norwich
Bryan Robson WBA
Brian Choccy McClair Celtic
Mick Phelan Burnley vie Norwich
Lee Sharp Torque United
Eric Cantona Leeds United
And you lot say we bought the title, dream on
