Re: David Rocastle Day
I'm certainly not ashamed to say that I loved Rocky Rocastle, his eyes blazed with passion for our club, his feet danced around opponents with ease and he was a true Gentleman.
Along with the goals in the video v Villa, spuds and M'boro my other favourite was the screamer in the cup at Anfield in 1988 /89 which we drew 1-1 and outplayed them, giving us I believe that little bit more belief that when we played again at the end of the season that we could do it.
Gone but never forgotten sing his name loud and proud,

Re: David Rocastle Day
I am either lower or upper depending on what I fancy doing on the day. May go upper to help with the Rocky banner and to hang up the flag Bacon Sarnie has finally sorted out

Re: David Rocastle Day
Un-sticking this thread now Sammy. Good to see the players put in a performance worthy of the great man - NOT!!!





Re: David Rocastle Day
Their prices are a joke, I know a lot of ours boycotted that one (which we won), lads who could afford it said no for the many who couldn't, disgusting price for football. But most importantly today (and I'm even typing slow to ensure no spelling mistakes) RIP David Rocastle, top player, top bloke, much missed
Re: David Rocastle Day
Not a great tribute to Rocky today
On the positive side, walking to the ground an older QPR fan asked me who the Gooners were chanting about. When I told him, a broad smile crossed his face and he said "Ah I remember David Rocastle. A great player and a real gentleman."

Re: David Rocastle Day
Yeah, got talking to a QPR fan on the bus home, fair play to him, expressed similar sentiments about Rocky. Good to see respect across clubs.Simon wrote:Not a great tribute to Rocky today![]()

Shame the players couldn't put in a performance worthy of his memory though
