Billy Sharp. Where do we even start with this icon. Rocked up at the Keepmoat nearly 17 years ago, wore the number 5 on his back and tore the Championship a new one in the Rovers red and white. Goals goals goals.
Went on to become the number 10, our first ยฃ1m+ signing and our club-record signing to this day, and countless memories followed. His emotion-packed worldie v Middlesbrough goes down as one of the best goals ever scored in world football, for so many reasons. That's for you son.
His goal the following week against Ipswich brought a memorable standing ovation from the home fans.
Who can forget his first Rovers goal at Scunthorpe, Fat Lad From Sheffield, the first goal at the Amex, the promotion-winning goal against Bradford, lifting a League Title. The list goes on.
This is one of the finest bagsmen English football has ever seen. 4 spells, goals galore, countless away fans wound up. Billy, you are a true Rovers legend. ๐ #DRFC
James Husband returning to Rovers.
Thoughts?
Thought we may have gone with a different profile to Senior. But certainly lots of credibility and experience. #DRFC
๐ฎ๐ชโ๏ธ Pre-season tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland confirmed.
Will be fantastic to travel away with the Rovers. Who's planning on heading over? #DRFC
Shouldnโt it be the Club Doncaster Sports Stadium? The name itโs been given seems a better fit for the whole complex.
And is this a missed revenue stream? Does the name really affect what events we can attract? Elton John, The Killers both played previously... #DRFC
The wait is over.
Club Doncaster Sports Village - our home has a new name.

@SkyBet@drfc_official@billysharp10 Will live long in the memory this. Only Billy could write a script like that, and to have a 4th ruled out for offside for what would have been his 300th as well. A ridiculous way to end for an absolute Rovers legend ๐
This was a funny thing to post without announcing a new signing shortly after!
I hope we aren't jumping too early. Always wonder if better options may become available further into the window. Just hope lessons have been learned from last summers recruitment. #DRFC
