Rovers' two Taylors feature in this picture from the 3rd Round FA Cup 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate.
(Below) The Supporter Club's magazine from September 1967, I'm behind the banner.
The mag. featured a picture of QUEEN' PARK RANGERS!!!!! and a Meet the Manager spot (Matt Busby) ~very little about Rovers.
A new cover for the match day programme featured Bernard HALL diving at the feet of Doug HILLARD(?) No television in the centre pages - it's on the back instead!
This kit change would get my vote as the most unimaginative ever worn.
This kit change would get my vote as the most unimaginative ever worn.The squad shown is a mix of locally "grown" players and a few (cheap) transfers.
Another disappointing season under coach Bob Campbell....
Played 46 Won 17 Drew 9 Lost 20 For 72 Agnst 78 Points 43
-----ooooo00000ooooo-----
Finished 15th with BURY and OXFORD UNITED gaining promotion, and PETERBOROUGH UNITED docked enough points to be relegated due to illegal payments to players.
A total of 67,000 watched Rovers draw o-o at Ashton Gate but lose the 3rd round replay at Eastville in January 1968.
HAT TRICK for Ray MABBUTT at NORTHAMPTON (Cobblers) on 28 October, little else to cheer during a season when Rovers' best unbeaten run was just 4 matches!

ReplyDeleteI went to this game. Rovers 1-0 (Jarman). Can anyone find any info about it, please? It doesn't seem to appear on the Rovers official site. Thanks.
That was May 14th 1968. At Ashton gate.
