@andyneilX And not forgetting our first ever game against Oxford when we lost 3-1 away ro them in the FA Cup in 1964. Marshall's Misfits certainly were that day!

@HBerry177 Robbie Slater?

Twenty-three.

@HBerry177 The player between Ronnie Clayton and Ally Macleod is not named.

@LBFlyawayhome Yes, I learnt to read with these in the late '50s/early '60s.

Remember these two characters? I do, even though at school I learnt to read with Peter and Jane (Ladybird) rather than Janet and John (not Ladybird)

@HBerry177 I suspect the one on the far right was East Lancs pro. The other could have been an East Lancs player.

Rovers v East Lancs 1975. Struggling with the two on the right in front of Neil Wilkinson.

@LancsArchives I remember lots of uses planned in the early days including cricket pitches. Instead it was ploughed, drained and let out on agricultural leases. I still believe it was the first public park in UK. The Corporation funded it.

@parkiebath It looks like DDPR/141/3 is your friend. We didn't photograph the whole thing, but It does show the never-built "The Ring". archivecat.lancashire.gov.uk/calmview/Recor…

@MadameGilflurt 🤬 shorts!

@MadameGilflurt Didn't have the sorts but my mother knitted me that pullover in that colour, too!

Who wears short shorts?

@roversfanzine When Newcastle did us a favour by taking Souness off our hands before he was sacked. Souness had done a great job but had begun fighting his players and, inevitably, Rovers form dipped. He had done a great job, nonetheless.

20 years ago today, Graeme Souness resigned as manager of #Rovers after a hugely successful four-and-a-half years in charge

@PlashingVole If you place your order now Moulton should have made it in time for your retirement!

Spotted out and about this weekend: a fine Moulton bicycle and a funny ad for the Bristol Cable. I’m saving for a Moulton NS Stainless. Only another decade to go if redundancy doesn’t intervene.

@TomMarsland #sackparker 😁

@brfcsdotcom We should get #sackparker trending!

In the circumstances *that* is a helluva performance. Dug in, stuck at it. Real character shown…👏👏👏⚪️🔵

@McrHistory This is just made for a caption competition!

@SoniaBashir_ That solves the mystery of the jets I heard from my garden in Blackburn earlier this afternoon.

Please do your bit to help Nigel. #FarageRiots

@EHChalus @GeorgianLords Under the direction of John Wood!

@GeorgianLords And for his dodgy, smelly installation of waterclosets in his house in Bath...

Stop sharing the #FarageRiots hashtag - it's upsetting poor Nigel Farage. Please do NOT retweet. #UKRiots

@footballmemorys When Blackburn Rovers players trained on "Little Wembley", an ash pitch behind the Blackburn End. I wonder what colour the River Darwen was that day!
