Yes

 

[bigc]

is that all you rotherham fans ask?
after a slow start he did ok, how many games before he scored in his first season?
15?

 

[Grizz]

Anyone remember the 3-1 (i think that was the score) away win at Shrewsbury when Harty and The Bear ripped 'em apart? Brilliant day out, a complete performance by the team and good bear afterwards with the Shrewsbury fans.

Love those kinda away game trips

Top banana of an away game.

Great performance, with Rod Thomas skinning them down the flanks, Minton majestic in the middle of the park and Hart & the Bear a partnership to be feared in attack.

Heard Gary Hart song for the first time at that game. Remember leaving the ground thinking we've got a good chance of going up...........Til Horton left...the fucker.

Yes!Quality game and before the game we saw Jeff Wood and he gave me and a couple of mates free tickets.

Plus it completed a record sequence of away wins.

As for the Bear he was quality after an indifferent first season but if he stayed we might never of signed Zamora.

 

[Superphil]

Talked to a freind of the Bears wife a couple of years age, said he and all the players hated every minute of playing at Gillingham, he admitted he turned out simply for the money, couldn't understand why 2-3 thousand turned out to see them every weeek.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Always gave his best. Met him once and he seemed like a top bloke.

 

[Albion Dan]

He was fat and rubbish when he started for us but soon turned it around, never forget his goal at Peterboro away at Christmas when Rod Thomas murdered em down the wing and put a beaut of a cros right in front of the Bear who put it in the net in front of a packed away end.

marvellous scenes.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Albion Dan .............. his favourite goal for the Albion as well. He came and watched us away one evening Mansfield and stood with the Albion faithful. Where Rod Thomas having fought his way back into the team, fought his way out of it.

Barker was a funny one for me.

Started slowly, and after the endless stream of cack we had playing for us at Priestfield, I was at the end of my patience. He scored a couple on the last game of the season, and yet I was still not impressed.

Second season opened up with me giving merciliess stick to the fella. I remember taking in the opening away trip of the season - cant remember where - and getting into a debate with a fella Piers (who never misses a game, ever!) about Barker.

Piers was convinced he was a good asset, I was just scathing. He had a pretty good game, and got better and better through the season. I was soon converted, and was gutted when he left.

I remember a very wet Friday night at Cambridge (was it Rod Thomas's debut?) where we won 3-2. The Bear charged into the area and won a penalty right in front of us, and got up and gave a big fist-celebration, with a massive grin. The penalty was duly tucked away, and we won. Barker went on to become a bit of a star for me.

Left in the summer when his father (I think) was taken ill and he wanted to be nearer his family.

Good player, full of heart, runs all day for you, a real trier. Top fella! Give him a cheer for me "Barkers_babe".

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

his old man was not well, but I believe he would have stayed if the club had made an offer, but MA preferred Dave Cameron. Not one of his better decisions.

I get tingles up my spine just remembering that goal, that atmosphere and the celebrations. Superb day out! lets hope its a joyous occassion again this season
