Just when you thought he couldn’t be a greater human being, you find out Desmond Tutu was a Rovers fan… 😳
 

 

Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

I can't imagine what it would be like living in such a hateful and divided society.

Oh, and South Africa was bad too.

That Tutu was a KR followers. Excellent. 

As an aside it may be worth briefly pointing out that although Tuto did not attend, he would have been directly influenced and impacted by the 5th Pan African Congress held at the Chorlton town hall building, now part of Manchester Met University off Cavendish Street in the city centre.

That was in October 1945 and set the agenda for the decolonization of Africa, which of course Tutu has been a leading player.

Curiously 72 years ndi, a mere drop ball kick away down the road, Cavendish FC, who became the modern day Salford RLFC.

So loosely add it all up and perhaps no surprise.

He was probably a contemporary of Stanley Gene

Stanley was a lot older
