The team picture at Eastville, looks like the North Stand behind them. My detective work tells me that as Grenville Smith didn't play much it was taken prior to the home match v IPSWICH on Sept 7th when Peter HOOPER got both goals in the 2-0 victory (both left footed I expect).Check out the shirts ~ are some inside out?
Ray MABBUTT (42 appearances), Norman SYKES (35), Malcolm NORMAN (28), David PYLE (38), Doug HILLARD (40), Josser WATLING (39).
Grenville SMITH (6), Alfie BIGGS (41 22 goals), Geoff BRADFORD (30 12 goals), Dai WARD (34 12 goals), Peter HOOPER (42 13 goals)
The team used 2 goalies (Malcolm NORMAN and Howard RADFORD) in the 42 fixtures, but 9 outfield players virtually picked themselves.
Rovers finished 9th, but only 3 points behind 3rd placed LIVERPOOL.

One exciting game must have been beating PORTSMOUTH 5-4 at Fratton Park on
