Quote: Alpha "Colin Hutton ? - He became chairman 0f Rovers at some point (1960s) and I think he played for them as well.'"
Never played for Rovers - that was the initial plan, iirc from an interview with him, but Hull wouldn't release his registration (obviously this was decades before the Bosman ruling) and Rovers didn't want to pay a fee for a player at the end of his career. So he became the coach.
As a trickle head the other way (Watts, Galea, the lad Abdull), is the 43 being presented as mitigation by scale or a kind of revenge for our parasitism (as I've seen it charmingly put
)?
I kind of like that we share so much history.
