Some team that. Brian marwood was one of my favourite players growing up, such an economical winger.
Never saw Kennedy or your left back.
Bull was a phenom. Didn't he go to the world cup after only ever playing 1 season in what would be the championship now?
hi MR G , if I was being honest then 2 of the best strikers ive seen come up against Rovers would be Lineker and Shearer and they would be streets ahead of Bull and Madden, but I did see Bull and Madden a few times against the Rovers and they were both very dangerous, always played well against us and always seemed to score against us...Never in a million years would Phil Sproson be considered a top class world centre back, lol, he was just an old 4th div centre back that played a helluva lot of games for Port Vale back in the early/mid 80s, but he was a good old rival, solid and experienced and we had many a battle with him...I think you are correct about what u said about steve bull and the world cup....Phil Sproson was related to the old Port Vale legend Roy Sproson, he was before my time but I think the likes of Loyden, Fifty and Devon Exile and 1 or 2 others will probably remember Roy Sproson and they might well put him in their best 11 to play vs Rovers..he was a legend at Vale and played about 800 games for them back in the 50s n 60s.
ps..sorry for my comments last night, I had stayed up late knocking the scotch back.
