[B_HenrySt]

Bryan Douglas t'Rovers & England.
When I was eleven we moved to Gt Harwood. Funny, I don't remember doing anything wrong? My dad worked on Saturday so we never went to Blackpool for years. Eventually we moved to Blackburn (God I must have been really bad) and so ended up going to Ewood with my school mates. Rovers had a decent side then Newton. Clayton, Pickering etc but little Bryan Douglas caught my eye. Tiny man, with twinkling feet, pacy dribbler.
