@fredcumpstey Unforgettable Fred bet it's still etched in the memory of many of the youngsters of that time. It certainly was in mine. Conjures up names such as Landy, Elliott, Zatopek, Pirie & Ibbotson (not Terry 😀) & many others.

@fredcumpstey Other results turned out ok Fred another step up the ladder to safety. Baggies looked more dangerous in 1st half & Rovers were far more threatening following 2nd half substitutions.
What a brilliant save by Toth in 1st half ! COYB 🔵⚪

@tomhfh @RupertLowe10 There may come a time soon Tom when you will want to give Restore politicians a platform and a voice. The present PM doesn't appear on GB News you really shouldn't deny a future PM the opportunity. You are backing the wrong horse @Nigel_Farage

Sad news to learn of the passing of Tony Field he was a shining light at Ewood in the early 1970's during Ken Furphy's brief management period.
RIP "Tony Field Superstar"!

Part of Winston Churchill's speech VE Day May 8th 1945, London. " There we stood alone. Did anyone want to give in? Were we down-hearted? The lights went out and the bombs came down. But every man, woman and child in the country had no thoughts of quitting the struggle."
