i am currently doing some research into some of tranmere rovers ex chairmen down the years and was wondering if anyone could possibly give me more info on what the usa san Francisco lawyer bruce oysterman is doing now. he was trfc chairman from 1984-1987 and wanted to close prenton park and make it into a supermarket etc. if you remember- he also used to like playing in goal during training matches- but he was forced out- when the club went into administration in 1987. if he is still alive - I think he would now be approx. 80 years old. also just before bruce oysterman in 1982-1983- Gerry mcateer related to Jason - very nearly bought the club -and I was just wondering if he still has anything to do with football etc. cheers.

Mr Oysterman,, then that must make our current chairman Mr Patios extremely multi-talented. Not only is he a success at salvaging failing businesses from the brink and bringing glory to the mighty TRFC , he can now be credited with being an expert in installing paved back garden terraces and courtyards.

i have no time for him at all. he was wrong to get rid of bryan hamilton, he was wrong to bring in frank worthington ( frank was not cut out for managment ), and the only reason frank got the job was that Osterman enjoyed watching him during his playing days,he knew next to nothing about lower league football in England ,and finally the ultimate sin of wanting to shut down the Rovers and turn Prenton into a huge Tesco superstore...mind you, the Worthington era did bring in the likes of Muir, Morrissey and Vickers.

many thanks for everyones replies. hong kong rover- yes - bruce oysterman did say that he wanted to turn prenton park into a Tesco superstore. but their is no truth in the rumours that we were going to be called Tesco rovers. ( just joking). also to - loyden 1 - yes you are correct - my mistake it was billy mcateer not Gerry as I said before. cheers.

Would be an interesting read if you are!

I saw Oysterman in a supermarket around the time of his takeover bid. I told him how pleased I was he was putting money into the club, but I didn’t want to bother him whilst he was shopping. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”


I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “ you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.


When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
