And Martin Thomas,our best ever keeper. [ Game of opinions but Nigel Martyn, Jim Eadie and Steve Phillips vwoukd be many fans choice ahead of Thomas. Nick Culkin was good too. I think Brian the lion Parkin was very underrated and we did well in the deal for Martyn |

Yes Harold Jarman is surely soon and Bert Tann I expect,dont know who they will pick as the other 2. Does it finish at 10 or will there be more in future ? |

Ten inductees this season selected by retro Rovers followed I believe by one or two every season voted for by the fans. |

Nearly right. 10 this year selected by Retro and then a maximum of 3 per year also selected by us. We are however happy to receive suggestions to discuss |

We are however happy to receive suggestions to discuss Can you say what the criteria is for the first 10 ? I dont disagree with them but I am interested in how they were chosen. Probably better that fans are not allowed to vote as there would be a 'boaty mcboatface' type situation. How are suggestions made ? |

Retro Rovers need to answer this Our Bristol Rovers History group were not consulted to assist We have longstanding fans going back 60 plus years and have specialist knowledge and more than willing to assist. But await the call. We fully support the Hall of Fame and such initiatives which promote our fantastic legends. |

Great shout. Forgot or had a bad day. The father, Ray, played more and longer, I think ? His whole career I think. He was a half back but played in every position as emergency cover, bar centre half because he was too short. He even played as a makeshift striker, scoring a few goals that included a hat trick away to Northampton in a 4-5 victory. Could do with his sort on Saturday. A hustling, bustling player who hardly put a foot wrong - apart from allowing one of his sons to join City. Gary joined us though and went on to have a great career with Spurs and England despite being a diabetic. |
