Synopsis

Bristol Rovers Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the Gas. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. Heard the one about the goalie whose area was deluged with oranges by adoring fans? How about the full-back who left the club under a cloud after allegedly selling his landlady's piano without her permission? Or the striker with a star named after him in the constellation Perseus? Do you know the results of the two 'socby' matches played between the Pirates and Bristol Rugby Club? Why a hypnotist offered the club his services? Or which author and ex-MP is a Gashead? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any Rovers fan who holds the riches of the club's history close to their heart.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Wimbledon in December 1966 but brought up in Bristol from the very tail-end of the 1960s, Stephen Byrne has been a Rovers supporter since 1974. It was then that he was taken to see the goalless home draw with Orient and he has not been able to escape following Rovers' fortunes since. He co-wrote Pirates in Profile with Mike Jay in 1995, a who s who of the club s players, and Bristol Rovers Football Club: The Definitive History, which was published in 2003. Bristol Rovers On This Day, was published by Pitch Publishing in 2009. In addition, his regular articles in every home matchday programme, for 16 years, each with an angle into the history of the club and its players, helped The Pirate win a succession of national awards. After almost 20 years working as a teacher in Wiltshire and Dorset, Stephen moved to Kenya in 2009 to work as Head of Languages and Housemaster at St Andrew s School, Turi. He and his wife Stitch have four children, Tolly, Ophelia, Horatio and Hatty, who are all being brought up in East Africa as Bristol Rovers supporters.
