Sir Hubert Ashton KBE MC, please. OK, only had the MC (only!) when he played the one game for us. From the superb Bristol Rovers Pirates in Profile Players Who's Who book 1920-1993.Ashton sounds a remarkable man. MC or not !
Sir HUBERT ASHTON KBE MC b 13.2.1898 Calcutta d 17.6.1979 South Weald 5’ 9½”; 11 st 4 lbs FB Début: 2.5.25 v Reading Career: Winchester College; Trinity College, Cambridge; West Bromwich Albion (amateur); February 1920 Corinthians; 23.8.24 Bristol Rovers [1,0]; 21.8.26 Orient [5,0] (to May 1927).
Astonishing though it may sound...
I used Sir Hubert as part of my avatar, on the Rovers' official forum, but, after a particular post, I got banned.

Competition Time. So you think you know a lot about Rovers and their players ? Get them all correct to receive a signed Bristol Rovers What's That book. Good Luck.
1. To the nearest 600 how many sensible posts has Chewy written this decade ? 2. What car does Chewy drive to the Mem and what colour is it? 3. How many keyboards has Chewy broken this week ? 4. What rumours has Chewy started on this forum since 1 January ? 5. What type of pasty did Chewy throw at that linesman who failed to give an offside decision before the opening Posh goal last evening ?

Looks like a Puss Yellow 1972 Skoda Favorit to me. Please put the 20% of my copy of your book that I have just won in the Thatchers End toilet, just in case of emergencies. Thanks.

Who has the most pornstar name, Tony Pounder or Dick Sheppard? There was a College Football player called Kyle Sackrider, I kid you not, he was probably no good at all at soccer, but we should have brought him over and given him 30 seconds as a sub anyway, just for bants.
