! A mate of mine was once ecstatic to win one in a competition, with a month they went bust and turned off the signal, last time I was in my home village I'm pretty sure it was still rusting away on his old house 25 years or so later!

When I first started watching Rovers was when Everitt was nudging Fletch from the FB position. Didnt think this was in the last decade though, thought it was mid to late 90's. I also remember Lee Sibary having some good games for us, but for me It is between the two afore mentioned Cockayne and Briscoe, and for overall contribution in both NL and SL i'd have to edge towards Ben Cockayne.

fairburn was the best post super league but would any of them made it now ie mike fletcher bob everitt david lightfoot gone but not forgot

Watson ended his career at Rochdale in about 2002/3 I think? The guy was still a great player to watch, even at the age of 35/36. I believe he is still in the country, living in the Birkenshaw area of Bradford (near Batley).
