tms Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Waiting for rewind to pop up on rovers TV so thought I'd ask you to name the youngest and oldest to play for FEV
The Grinder Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 pure guesses: Youngest: Alan Banks Oldest: Jeff Grayson I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.
jamescolin Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Oldest might have been Eric Batten but Freddie Miller was getting on.

Steve Slater Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I would have thought either Grayshon, Batten or Miller for the oldest, but if its neither of them I would have a wildcard guess at Derek (Sam) Windmill, simply because I read somewhere that while he was on the coaching staff he came out of retirement in an emergency for a one off appearance. He was on the staff for the '83 cup win and he must have been mid 40's back then?
