1, The best rovers player you have ever seen. Heart say's Harold Jarman - Head says Rickie Lambert 2, The best manager we have had. Hmmmm difficult Lennie pulling the strings 3, The best away game you have been to. 8-2 Win at Brighton 4, The best home game you have been to. Beating the Sh*t via Rickie Lambert 1-0 JPT area final was good!! 5, The worst player you have seen playing for us. Alvin Bubb 6, The best player you have seen play against us. Disley when with Mansfield pre-Gas literally tore our defence apart - But Bobby Charlton and George Best were damn good [1970's] 7, The best away following. If you mean ours? - @ Villa 1970's stood on the Holt End - Happy days!! 8, Our biggest team player, not necessarily the best but the one who gave the most for rovers. Holloway/F. Prince

1, Rickie Lambert for me pips the likes of Stewart, Hayles, Roberts, Cureton etc. Used his talent in the finest of ways and I was so very proud when he got that first England cap. 2, In my era again, it has to be Lennie and Trolls. Sure they weren't your usual managers but what they achieved and what the club has achieved since we binned them sums up their talents. 3, Crewe away in the 1995 playoff semi, just absolutely superb and that was just the chips! 4, The City JPT Area Final, when Lambo scored, my word. 5, I'll take a different approach to most people on this and go for not the worst player but the biggest waste. That'll go to Mark Wright. Just an utterly s**t bloke. 6, Andy Tillson for Walsall against us in 2000-2001. Showed us why letting him go saw us go down. 7, For us, the trips to Blackpool in the mid-90s and for a team at our place probably Leeds. 8, Dave Pritchard, not much else to say there.

1, The best rovers player you have ever seen - The late great Mickey Barrett, he would have had a career at the highest level. For the younger fans, imagine Carayol but twice as good. 2, The best manager we have had - Gerry Francis, what he achieved with limited resources was nothing short of a miracle. 3, The best away game you have been to - Lincoln in the play offs. 4, The best home game you have been to - v Bristol City 1990, what a way to win promotion 5, The worst player you have seen playing for us - Andy Spring, how he was ever a professional footballer I will never know. 6, The best player you have seen play against us - Steve Macmanaman destroyed us at Anfield in the FA Cup replay in the early 90's 7, The best away following - Blackpool 1990 8, Our biggest team player - Vaughan Jones, led by example and demanded 100% from everyone.

Below is a selection just answer them with your favorite, this is only in your time watching! 1, The best rovers player you have ever seen. Rickie Lambert2, The best manager we have had. Paul Trollope - only one (so far) to provide me with genuine success rather than abject failure.3, The best away game you have been to. First away game - Reading 0 - 6 Rovers. Thought they were all like that!4, The best home game you have been to. Beating the S**t in the JPT - the celebration after Lambert destroyed the net was the best I have been involved in!5, The worst player you have seen playing for us. Far too many but Lee Thorpe for his ability not to score, and to win every header but have no clue where the ball was going to go! 6, The best player you have seen play against us. Jamal Campbell-Ryce and his one man show for Orient a few years back. 7, The best away following. Fulham in the FA Cup run - outnumbering a Premier League team at home is quality - atmosphere was on point too. 8, Our biggest team player, not necessarily the best but the one who gave the most for rovers. Craig Hinton for me. Loved his attitude and did a bloody good job for the team.

1, The best rovers player you have ever seen... Rickie Lambert, seemed to be able to score from anywhere! 2, The best manager we have had... Gerry Francis, we won the league. 3, The best away game you have been to... My first game vs City at Ashton Gate. We won 1-0 must of been 1989? Got me hooked 4, The best home game you have been to... City again when we won 1-0 in the JPT Southern Area final. 5, The worst player you have seen playing for us... Paterson, McGhee's mate was awful 6, The best player you have seen play against us... We lost 2-1 to West Ham a few years ago. Craig Bellamy was everywhere 7, The best away following... Er, us in the play off final? 8, Our biggest team player, not necessarily the best but the one who gave the most for rovers... Stuart Campbell was class. I hate Buckle for getting rid of him.

1, The best rovers player you have ever seen. Devon White, maybe not the best but my favourite 2, The best manager we have had. Gerry Francis 1st time round 3, The best away game you have been to. the 6 0 at Reading springs to mind. Another 6 0 away win at Oxford was great for the optimism it left with only to see it crumble 4, The best home game you have been to. All the times we beat City at Twerton 5, The worst player you have seen playing for us. Mickey Evans 6, The best player you have seen play against us. Kevin Philips 7, The best away following. All through the early 90s 8, Our biggest team player, not necessarily the best but the one who gave the most for rovers. Holloway

Lewis Hogg (never seemed to do anything with the ball) 6. Ray Wilkins, Danny Murphy 7. 1-0 Oxford (Andy Rammell's game) 8. Frankie Prince

1. Mark Walters 2. Paul Trollope 3. When we beat City (2-0 I think) at Ashton Gate (although it was also one of the worst for the attempted violence of the City fans. 4. I think it was a League Cup (?) game vs. Everton (I think) 5. Can't think of anyone specific 6. ? 7, ? 8. Ian Holloway
I've had to ignore some of the questions as I don't get to many games so probably miss seeing the quality players playing against us and also my memory is um...
