Viking Way

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 £1m+ 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. 👑 #DRFC

@TavernFootball Joe Ironside

Back by popular demand is the landlord drinking game. We're looking for players past or present called Joe. Only ONE answer is allowed to be provided and you can't say Joe Cole. Failure to do so and the tray of shots comes out.....🥃🥃🥃

@VikingWay__ Experience, decent quality and versatile in positions. Happy with it

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

@drfc_official Things like putting a space before the👇, but not before the ⚽️, piss me off. Come on guys it’s an official account.

One more year⚽ We are pleased to announce that Jake Oram has signed a new contract with the club. Read more 👇 doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/2026/may/… #DRFC

@JimmyDRFC @DRFCShadowBoard Fair enough thanks James. The designs have been sub par IMO so would think some fresh input migjht be good.

@VikingWay__ @DRFCShadowBoard Fans having involvement in kit design is something currently under consideration. Unlike with previous manufacturers, the kit process operates well in advance of the current season i.e. meetings have already been had for 27/28. Kind of a watch this space I suppose!

The agenda for the next Shadow Board meeting has now been published. If you have anything that you wish to be covered in AOB or any feedback on ticketing loyalty points which are set to be discussed at length in a separate meeting, please get in touch #DRFC

Panini also released a Billy Sharp card which will be released 3rd June.

Panini have posted a teaser for their upcoming EFL trading cards release, featuring a retro style Jay McGrath poster. @OfficialPanini #DRFC

@GabSutton @Stuart_Watson @EADTsport24 Feel free to share your findings Gab!

@Stuart_Watson @EADTsport24 Hi Stuart. I was just wondering if any of you at @EADTsport24 might have seen Leon play for the U21s by any chance, and if so would you possibly help me out with some insights? Regards

#itfc U21s star Leon Ayinde - who was involved with the 1st team last August - will join L1 club Doncaster Rovers when his contract expires next month. eadt.co.uk/sport/26125999…

🇮🇪☘️ 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

@allfootballco Not for me. Need better and younger.

Do we take Neill Byrne on a free? #DRFC #DoncasterRovers #BCFC #BradfordCity

Shouldn’t it be the Club Doncaster Sports Stadium? The name it’s 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

@George99188932 @HLTCO Thanks mate. Great input.

@VikingWay__ @HLTCO But no one outside of Doncaster cares about Doncaster mate.

13 years ago today, one of the most memorable passages of play in English football history.

@KrisWall92 @HLTCO Crazy really. Bournemouth were the team we knocked off top spot as well. All went a little bit different for them compared to us!

@VikingWay__ @HLTCO And now look where both those clubs are too

@BigGazLaw @Rupee92 He's not but you have to consider his output in terms of minutes and goals. As well as his pretty incredible versatility.

@Rupee92 He’s not as good as Ben Whitman and what did he go for at a younger age?

Stop mentioning £3m fees. You’re gonna be miles off and find yourselves fuming when he goes for a much lower but fair and realistic figure. Love him but he’s not a young striker/winger and despite his goal tally this season being impressive, its unlikely to be replicated. #drfc

@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 👑

What a way to sign off 🖊️ On his final ever appearance for @drfc_official, @billysharp10 bagged a Hat-Trick 🎩 299 career goals and counting.. ⚽️

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

@liamhoden All the best Liam.

Just wanted to thank all of you that have sent messages after my time at #DRFC came to an end. It wasn't an easy decision to walk away from a club that has deeply embedded itself into my heart and soul over the last 15 years, since I first started covering it for the Free Press.

@reluctantnicko Think he's got one more year left in him somewhere. York would seem an option if they're keen.
