Quote Sandra The Terrorist="Sandra The Terrorist"I've always wondered rover49 was Beetson that great for Rovers, obviously he's a giant of the game but he was only here for one season?'"
He was one of the top 10 players I ever saw in a Rovers shirt, irrespective of how great he was for us. His signing and presence was massive.
There have been so many, It's difficult to pick a list of 10, I suppose leaving out Lockwood, G Smith, Watky, Sully, Fairbairn and others is a hard choice, but we have been fortunate in who we have had over the years. If I was 10 years younger and missed the 60's I suppose the likes of Galea, Newton and Vella might have got in. I think the last three mentioned were probably the most important signings we have made in a long time because in the late 70's and 80's we were 'expected' to sign top quality, whereas in our SL infancy, Galea, Newton and Vella were players we probably didn't have the 'right' to sign.
As far as importance is concerned, I also rate Mark O'Neill as a shrewd bit of business as well.
